（根据东野圭吾的小说 《嫌疑人 X 的献身》改编）

但你是瞎了 老师来这里就是为了你
你昨天没来 所以他也没来
为什么？
他怎么会知道我休假？
-连我自己都不知道 -他是你的邻居
一定在密切注意着你

只要花功夫 连神都能找到
你只是我的妻子罢了
我不要和你有任何瓜葛 你走
过了14年 我才刚找到你
怎么能不聊聊就走呢？
-我们没什么好聊 -有的
有很多事可以聊
算算的话
至少有150万卢比要聊
玛雅！过来
玛雅？
你改名了？
还换了职业
现在不方便 下午两点之后

“玛雅”
早上好 老师
（赫曼山学校）
-早上好 -老师！
-迪普克 我很忙 -老师 请等一下
-迪普克 不行！ -老师 求你了！
-来吧 -今天我一定会打败你
你一定要赢 这样我就不用烦了
你想输？
每一位老师都想输给自己的学生
来吧
-准备好了？ -好了 老师
一 二 三！
好！我拿到了！
我赢了
怎么回事？你怎么做到的？
我跟你说了 关注对的事
你的目标是拿到硬币 不是打败我
卡兰！
哎 温柔一点 兄弟！
已经很温柔了
-是嘛？ -局长找你
-现在？ -对
抱歉 我得走了 老板找我
算你小子走运
-老板救了你 -否则呢？
继续品尝我的温柔
卡兰
-走吧 有机会赶紧跑 -别磨蹭了 走吧
去吧
给我一分钟 好吗？给我计时
（全印度综合格斗协会）
30秒
20秒
来
时间？
58秒
走吧
-我以为你要挨揍呢 -我也没想到
几大洗钱贩子都供出了阿吉特
他在帮他们处理黑钱
（孟买警察局）
找到他 他是我们唯一的线索
是 长官
你以为你是谁？
别人都要等你？
再来一次！
旋转！
你是谁？
警察
滚
我们这个月已经付过钱
“滚”？
你把我当要饭的
你没听过吗？
听过什么？
骨头断裂的声音
听过
米特胡恩·查克拉博蒂 《阿珊蒂》 对吧？
太好了 我也是他的粉丝
“有疑问吗？”
太好了！
肚子好好练练
你有什么事？
你和你的这位朋友…
这么说你们不是朋友了？
阿吉特在哪里？
不知道
继续练 别光站着
你想想啊
如果我们找到阿吉特
你就不用再给他任何东西了
不论你以前给他什么
不过我对这些事毫不知情
他一周前来过这里
酩酊大醉 嘴里喋喋不休
说自己在噶伦堡中了彩票
彩票？
索尼娅
我亲爱的索尼娅…
不要
你见到我一点都不高兴
我改变了 索尼娅
我不再是从前的那个人了
-你想干什么？ -听我说完
我打算不当警察了
副业也不做了
现在我要老老实实过日子
你走的时候 拿走了我的钱
“拿走”或者说“偷走”
不知道 我已经忘了
我把过去都忘记了
你也应该忘记
你想干什么？
你别碰我
我只是希望你回到我身边
我不能再当一家人吗？
你 我
还有我们的女儿
你怎么会知道塔拉？
塔拉
好可爱的名字
有朝一日 她一定会成为明星
她也很美 遗传你
你怎么知道她长什么样？
我在她学校看见她了
父亲的直觉嘛 我想着应该去见见校长…
妈妈 你带我去哪里？
妈妈 我还要练网球
妈妈！
-晚安 老师 -晚安
（提斯塔柔术俱乐部）
纳伦先生
开始练习？
妈妈 我好无聊 我做什么好呢？
随你做什么 别来烦我就行
妈妈！
去洗澡吧
我可以放音乐吗？
别在这里放 回你房间去放
塔拉 你的网球费用什么时候要交？
-25号 -25号
谁啊？
是我 阿吉特
谁啊 妈妈？
回房去
索尼娅
你来干什么？快走
我们还没谈完呢
你又逃走了 就像14年前那样
请你走吧
否则我打电话报警
报警干什么？我都已经来了
我现在还是警察
打给我就行
阿吉特
请你走吧 否则我报警
拜托 丈夫来看老婆
这是犯罪吗？
你报警吧 我等着
现在我知道你住哪里了
至少听我把话讲完
请你开门
考虑一下嘛
开门吧
怎么了 索尼娅？
我们进屋坐坐？
不用脱鞋
没事
你家这么干净
我坐这里？
我没钱了
我问你要钱了吗？
你这种人眼里只有钱
但我没有钱
“你这种人”
什么意思？
我是坏人？
随你怎么说吧
妈妈 热得快坏了
进去！快进去！
我从没想过自己居然会当爹
更不要说有这么漂亮的闺女了
你在这里等着
对不起
会没事的 好吗？
我的钱都在这里了
这是干嘛呢？
请你走吧 我没别的东西了！
当然有
塔拉
塔拉？什么意思？
她正含苞待放
你疯了吗？
这不明摆着吗？
我不是说过吗？
塔拉有朝一日会成为明星
等她出道时 钱会像雪片一样撒满全身
你也一样
就像从前那样
-你一定很想念… -你别碰我！
从我家滚出去
索尼娅
玛雅 昌德尔穆琪 帕萝
不论你是谁
你现在仍然是我的妻子
塔拉是我的女儿
这里是我的家
我想来就来
想干什么就干什么
阿吉特
请不要再来
我每个月给你钱
请不要再来
我可以没有你 但怎么能没有女儿呢？
我要好好了解她
有很多东西要教给她
我建议你开始教她
母亲是最好的老师
如果你愿意 可以和我们一起
或者我和女儿自己走
我不是你女儿！
你居然敢打你爸？
你是这样教她的？
阿吉特
过来 我的中奖彩票 我会教你礼貌 就像我教你妈那样
妈妈！
-妈妈！ -别碰她！
索尼娅！别怕
我不会在她身上留下痕迹
你知道的 对吧？
妈妈！
-我会把你们俩都埋了！ -妈妈！
你敢打我女儿？
妈妈！
-放开！ -妈妈！
妈妈！
我做了什么？
阿吉特！
老师 是你
抱歉 德索萨女士 我没想吓到你
没事
不怪你
你没事吧？
嗯 我没事
我只是刚才有点害怕
我家进了一只蟑螂
所以我刚才在打蟑螂
-打死了吗？ -啊？
你把蟑螂打死了吗？
嗯 打死了
谢谢你 老师
-晚安 -晚安 德索萨女士
妈妈
我们得报警
为什么？
要不怎么办？
是我杀了他
不是的 妈妈
你没杀他
是我先打他的
不许你再这样说
明白吗？
无论如何都不能这样说
无论他们问你什么
你对今晚发生的事毫不知情
要是你出事
妈妈活不下去！
我们现在怎么办啊？
谁？
德索萨女士 我是纳伦
隔壁的老师
老师 能明天再说吗？
我想问一下你现在打算怎么办
不好意思 老师
你刚才说什么？
我想问一下你现在打算怎么办
什么意思？
如果你在报警 那就没事了
否则也许我可以帮你
-什么？ -德索萨女士
隐藏尸体不是一件容易的事
你自己可能做不到
进去
老师
你怎么知道的？
这是一个数学方程式
如果A=B=C
那么
A=C
我不明白
我解释给你听
A等于今天早上去你餐厅的陌生人
B等于你看见他时脸上的恐惧
C等于那只蟑螂
它与那个陌生人一样唤起了恐惧
A等于B等于C
那个陌生人
等于恐惧
等于那只蟑螂
因此
那个陌生人等于那只蟑螂
你自己说你打死了蟑螂
但你怎么知道是同一个男人呢？
还有一些其他线索
比如你门口的一个烟蒂
走廊里的烟味
而且在门口
我看见一双靴用地毯包了起来
一般的地毯
大概是1.7米到1.85米长
而那个陌生人
大概1.8米高
你这么轻而易举就发现了一切
不能说发现了一切
我并不知道他是谁
他是我的丈夫
当年很不容易 但我还是逃走了
但他又找到了我们
他要强行带走我女儿 然后…
在警察来抓我之前
我是不是应该先去自首？
妈妈 我不会让你去
塔拉 别说话 进去
妈妈！
但你没有杀…
塔拉 闭嘴！
德索萨女士
德索萨女士 问题在于
警察会如何看待这一切
什么意思？
不论你现在在隐瞒我什么事
都很难瞒过警察
我没有隐瞒任何事
有人从后面用绳子勒住他的脖子
是我
然后他试图自救
有人按住了他的双手
他的手上有指甲的抓痕
也是我
那你得有四只手才行
但你只有两只手
我这样的门外汉
都能轻松查明事实
警察会更快发现这个谎言
所以你在报警之前得好好考虑
如果我们不报警呢？
这也是一个可能性
-那可不行 -妈妈！
请至少让老师帮帮我们
他来这里只是为了你
老师 如果你帮助我们 你自己也会被连累
-我已经深陷其中 -但你什么都没做
对警察隐瞒真相也是犯罪 德索萨女士
老师 能麻烦你帮帮我们吗？
如果不报警 我们怎么隐藏尸体呢？
为什么要隐藏？
不隐藏怎么办？
有时候说出真相是最好的策略
但是在此之前…
我们必须把家里做彻底的清理
包括外面的烟蒂
你能做到吗？
你跟我来？
-你丈夫是警察？ -对
你用什么勒他的？
热得快的电线
螺圈加热器？
对
你得把它清理一下
不要 算了 我自己来
见面是提前安排好的？
不是 是他突然出现
然后我在李氏餐厅和他见面
李氏餐厅？
男男女女幽会的地方？
对
很好 那里的服务员嘴巴都很紧
这是我的钱
爱丽丝维拉酒店
（爱丽丝维拉酒店 阿吉特·马特雷）
他两天前入住 已经预付了三天房费
所以我们还有一天时间
阿吉特·马特雷
助理副督察
德索萨女士
很可能会有人来这里找他
如果他被找到
（尸体 = 德索萨）
那警方也会找到你
（德索萨女士）
（尸体 = 德索萨）
最简单的解法是什么？
没有尸体
就没有德索萨女士
老师 我看不懂这数学
这怎么可能呢？
我不知道
我也还在思考
必须在尸体开始僵硬之前 把他的衣服脱掉
-什么？ -通过衣服可以查出人的身份
不能让别人找到他的衣服
麻烦你帮我一下？
算了
你去帮塔拉吧
这个我来处理
不好意思
德索萨女士 我们得为你和塔拉搜集一些证据
但所有的证据都对我不利
将同样的证据 变为对你有利
谢谢你 老师
我没你帅
但是我还活着
哎！你昨天干什么了？
没干什么 就把家里打扫了一下
-真不错 -谢谢
你好 我是桑达尔·辛格副督察
你好 我是卡兰·阿南德
但我现在觉得自己像哈利·波特
没错 我们噶伦堡有魔法
-我们走吧？ -而且没有阳光
（警察）
-这地方不错 -嗯
（噶伦堡警察局）
阿吉特·马特雷
这是他最后出现的地方
我们在尝试追踪他的手机 但他老是换号码
噶伦堡不大
可能需要几天时间
-但我们会找到他 -是的 长官
-桑达尔先生会协助你 -是 长官
我会把他的照片给你
-发给这里各家旅店 -好的
老师
晚上好 德索萨女士
-老师 我害怕 -为什么？
你按我说的做了 对吗？
那就没什么好害怕了
晚安 德索萨女士
-见过这个人吗？ -没有 长官
如果见到他 就报警
更具体一点 这地方真的很大
嗯
嗯 就这么办
-有发现吗？ -没有
阿吉特在附近打过一个电话
这里只有一个信号塔
但这块区域涵盖山的各个方向
孟买那边会给我们回电话 也许会有一些线索
-好的 -我们稍微等等吧
好的
巴布
-早上好 -早上好
麻烦来点热咖啡
-好的 -两杯
再来一个这个
好的
还有这个
-不用 就咖啡就行 -哎
麻烦这个也要一个
好的
请坐 我来拿
好的 谢谢
女士 还有一件事
你见过这个人吗？
在这里或附近见过吗？
-没有 -没有？
如果看见他 请打电话给警察局
-好的 -谢谢
-早上好 老师 -早上好 德索萨女士
一份蛋炒饭 麻烦
巴布 一份特色蛋炒饭
-早上好 老师 -早上好 老师
早上好
纳伦！
兄弟 这概率得多低啊？
95675分之一
错 你没把我算进去
算了
目前的人口是95674
纳伦
见到你真是太好了！
你一点都没变！
谁的数学都没你好
你怎么来噶伦堡了？
我来找一个人
对
好的 太好了
好的 谢谢
纳伦 我现在得走了
我们之后见个面 你在哪里教书？
你怎么知道我在教书？
你一进来 他们都像被点名一样叫你“老师”
在哪里教书？
赫曼山学校
-你知道这学校吗？ -知道
回头见 老师！
-谢谢 -谢谢
谢谢
老师！
德索萨女士 不能被别人看见我们交谈
我知道
你的朋友在找阿吉特
所以呢？
-我觉得他是警察 -所以呢？
记得我跟你说的话吗？
-记得 -那就行了
如果还需要做别的事 我会跟你说
但不能被别人看见我们交谈
-他们提供的位置就是这里 对吧？ -对
可能是这其中任何一栋房子
我们得挨家挨户问
喂？
对 找到了？
好的 找到酒店了 上卡特路的爱丽丝维拉酒店
我们走
（爱丽丝维拉酒店）
（请勿打扰）
这里不打扫房间吗？
没打扫 因为门上挂着“请勿打扰”
-他的行李在这里？ -对
也就是说他还在这里
-你最后一次见他是什么时候？ -入住那天
长官 马特雷先生在哪里？
我们也想知道
长官 酒店账单谁来付？
你叫什么名字？
普拉奈·查姆林 长官
查姆林先生
你对他有所了解吗？
他有没有说过或问过什么？
没有 长官
但是他来的时候 在问什么学校的事
我们刚才不是经过一所学校吗？
-坎莫洛迪亚学校？ -对 长官
-坎莫洛迪亚学校？ -对
查姆林先生
他自己会付
房间不错
我们在这里干什么？
等
等什么？
阿吉特与这间学校有关联
那女的不是那家餐厅的吗？
是的
阿吉特在附近打过一个电话
在这里或附近见过吗？
没有
查15年前的材料
女儿大概12、13岁
母亲名叫玛雅·德索萨
-喂？ -德索萨女士
是我 老师
老师
你怎么打座机？
出什么问题了吗？
没有
但可能会出问题
-你的朋友？ -对
今天他跟踪你回家了
德索萨女士 你们结婚有没有登记？
有
喂 老师？
-老师？ -德索萨女士
仔细听我说
从大学时代开始 我就知道卡兰有多么聪明
我也知道他此时此刻在想什么
你是他在噶伦堡唯一的嫌疑人 德索萨女士
他很快就会来找你
他会盯住你 直到有所发现
或者到你自己坦白
向警方自首会不会好一些？
不会
就按我说的做
老师 但我不知道我能不能…
你行的 德索萨女士 很简单
他来的时候
只回答他问你的事
其他都别提
不要主动提供信息
对 最重要的是
你要当作阿吉特还活着
那他的尸体呢？
永远不可能发现他的尸体
是谁发现尸体的？
当地寺庙的和尚发现的
你怎么知道是阿吉特？
他们还发现了他的警官证
拉姆！ 桑托什！让开 让他们让开
这么狠？
警官证在哪里？
-哎 警官证拿来 -请把警官证拿来
给他
-在哪里发现的？ -哪里发现的？
这里
血迹
把这个送去做DNA检测
但是和什么材料比对呢？
你为什么打扫房间？
你之前不是抱怨没打扫吗？
我…
哎！谢林先生！
我叫查姆林 警官
没有烟头 也没有杯子
男性 身体99%被烧焦
脸部被反复用重物击打
后脑勺也有很深的伤口
手指100%被烧焦
没有看到牙齿和眼睛
动手的人
想要隐藏他的身份
DNA检测有发现吗？
牙刷和梳子上的头发
与血迹的DNA完全匹配
这是阿吉特·马特雷的尸体
-还有别的发现吗？ -有
他的死亡时间是 11月10日晚上7点左右
不好意思
对 请讲
中奖彩票找到了
谁啊？
警察！
我有事要跟你
有人在吗？
晚上好 女士
我是孟买警察局的卡兰·阿南德
-有什么事吗？ -女士 你认识他吗？
-认识 -怎么认识的？
他是我的丈夫
但是之前你说不认识他
是的
我不希望他靠近我或者我女儿
我现在和他没有瓜葛
他这次又干了什么？
你最后一次见他是什么时候？
他几天前来找过我
女士 你得跟我回警察局
-为什么？ -我们…
发现了一具尸体
尸体？
阿吉特？什么时候？
今天早上发现的
所以要请你去认尸
请稍等
好的
混蛋 瞎看什么呢？
她说什么了吗？
嗯 说认识他
-但是… -但是什么？
她提起阿吉特
就好像他还活着似的
又被抓了？
你就不吸取教训！
你认得出他的东西吗？
好的 请坐
德索萨女士
阿吉特·马特雷的妻子 叫索尼娅·德索萨
就是你吗？
是的
你们什么时候结婚的？
大概15、16年前
你女儿呢？
是他的女儿
阿吉特为什么会来噶伦堡？
我不知道
他为什么去找你？
他想要钱
他从来都只要钱
其他什么都不管
你和阿吉特是在什么地方认识的？
在天堂酒吧？
德索萨女士
我们有一张天堂酒吧的照片
这张
（索尼娅小姐）
这是你吗？
（索尼娅小姐）
是你 对吧？
-是的 -是的
所以你在天堂酒吧工作的时候
认识了阿吉特
你为什么隐瞒？你完全可以告诉我们
-你… -不是的
认识阿吉特的时候
我是一个普通的女孩
爱上他 然后嫁给他
后来他把我卖给天堂酒吧
把你卖掉？
对
你可以问给你照片的人
不好意思
我还是得问你
10日晚上你在哪里？
我成嫌犯了？
我问你这些问题 就是不希望你成为嫌犯
10日晚上我和塔拉去看了电影
-哪里？ -首都影院
你们什么时候出门的？
大概下午5点半到6点
看的哪部电影？
《爱宠大机密2》
塔拉要看
看完之后就回家了？
没有 看完之后 我们去吃了晚餐
-在哪里吃的？ -戈姆普餐厅
那里的菜很好吃
之后你们就回家了？
没有 之后我们去了国王K歌酒吧
去玩了一会儿
K歌？
塔拉要去
你们经常这样出去玩吗？
有时间的时候 偶尔会去
你们看了一部电影
然后去餐厅吃晚餐
之后去K歌酒吧
什么时候回到家里？
大概晚上11点
能给我看一下吗？
谢谢
（11月10日 周四 看电影 吃晚餐）
-怎么了？ -感觉不对劲
-什么意思？ -谁会在周四出去玩？
又没到周末
女孩第二天还要上课
会在外面玩到夜里11点？
但她说是女儿想去
她们相处得这么好 真不错
也可能是在编故事
桑达尔
如果是编故事
那这张美丽的脸庞后面 可隐藏着狡猾的头脑
-走吧？ -好的
纳伦？
纳伦！
-你好！ -你好
你怎么在这里？
我住在这里 你怎么在这里？
工作
早上餐厅的那位女士
-店里的人都叫你老师 -迪芬餐厅
对
玛雅·德索萨
你认识她吗？ 你一定经常去她的餐厅吧？
偶尔去
她是我的邻居 但我们不是太熟
是你邻居？
你有没有见过这个男人？
在这里或者在附近？
你过目不忘的
没见过
这位是纳伦·维亚斯
我们学院最聪明的学生 经过认证的数学天才
没有
扯蛋！千真万确！
桑达尔 当时我们数学期末考试
题特别难
我们在考场都哭了！
考卷上写着：“10题中任选6题回答”
然后他来了
他把10题全答了
然后写上：“10题中任选6题评分”
他帮全班报了仇
年轻气盛
你没见过他？
没有
是谁？
你邻居的丈夫
不过是已故丈夫
死了？
既然死了 为什么你们还来找？
我们在找杀他的凶手
杀人？
你是说德索萨女士…
没有 就是例行公事问问
-你这么晚从学校回来？ -没有 我从道场回来
道场？
纳伦 你还在练？
你呢？
我会去你的道场
大学时代 我们是高手中的高手
纳伦当时可以参加全国比赛
这样啊
-抱歉 看起来不太像 -没有 别听他的
不 我下次去你的道场 一起喝一杯
-随时欢迎 -好吗？
我走了
话说回来
你邻居好漂亮
老师
他们找到了尸体
我知道 我在外面遇见了卡兰
但你说过他们永远不会发现尸体
你保证过的！
别担心 德索萨女士
我会处理好
现在怎么办？
你按我说的说了 对吧？
对
他们有没有问你女儿？
没有 塔拉当时在屋里
他们早晚也会审讯她
到时候她知道该怎么做吗？
你把电影票给他们看了吗？
没有
他们没问
好的 票在哪里？
在厨房抽屉里…
不行 找一件你的衣服 放在口袋里
假装你忘记放哪里了
没人会保留电影票
-好吗？ -好的
-你一定经常去她的餐厅吧？ -偶尔去
德索萨女士
餐厅的人知道我每天去吗？
什么意思？
你餐厅的员工 知不知道我每天去买吃的？
看！老师来了
嗯 他们都知道
大家也都很喜欢你
我也一样
他们知道我是你的邻居吗？
知道 我跟他们说过
-不该说吗？ -没事
我会处理好
老师
谢谢你 老师
为我们做这么多事
谢谢你
怎么了 塔拉？
学校发生什么事了吗？
那是怎么了？
对不起
都是因为我…
你没做错任何事
你只是想救我罢了
现在警察已经找到尸体
如果把你抓走怎么办？
不会出事的
没人能把我从你身边抢走
老师说过
他会处理好所有的事
去洗澡吧 很晚了
去吧
我爱你
去吧
我饿了 快去吧
玛雅 索尼娅 不论她是谁
为什么到现在没抓她？
我们需要多一点时间…
为什么？
阿吉特去噶伦堡就是为了见那个女人
这就是天堂酒吧的人提到的中奖彩票
-我们有证据 对吧？ -对
但证据对她有利 而不是对她不利
-她那天在其他地方… -她说谎！
你自己也很清楚
阿吉特死了 被谋杀了
玛雅是唯一的嫌疑人
-你还需要什么？ -长官…
“你还需要什么？”
我需要证据
证据
等一下 是在哪里找到的？
她裤子口袋里
谁会留着电影票呢？
如果在抽屉里找到 我也会怀疑
-嗯 -但是起初她说…
一定是扔掉了
然后呢？
她可能买了票 但没去看
你是说她买票就是为了 制造不在场证据？
如果是这样 她第一天就会把票给我们看
也许她是在等我们问她
她的每一步行动都精心计算
就像下象棋一样
我们先走一步
她才会走一步
不会提前
她是一个小姑娘的妈妈
你说得她好像职业杀手似的
小姑娘的妈妈不能成为职业杀手吗？
她哪儿有时间杀人呢？
单亲妈妈独自一人养孩子不容易
你似乎很了解单亲妈妈
我妈也是单亲妈妈 长官
对不起
没事 长官
（首都影院 《爱宠大机密2》）
时间
最重要的就是时间 桑达尔
（首都影院）
（一楼座位）
（《爱宠大机密2》）
6点10分 她从电影院去…
7点10分
8点
不论用多少汽油 烧毁人体需要至少…
至少一小时
一小时？
我跟你说
做完这一切再回到影院 是不可能的
怎么了？
对了
这是她犯的唯一错误
移除阿吉特的身份 只有一个原因
为了让我们不怀疑玛雅
对
他的脸、指纹都被毁
只有衣服要烧掉
她把火点燃 衣服开始烧
她得在烧完之前先走 为什么？
因为她得按时赶到影院
由于这个错误 我们发现了什么？
血迹 DNA样本
知道了这是阿吉特
明白了吗？
但如果她能证明她在影院
那就定不了她的罪
警察把电影票拿走了
好
这是必然的
对 塔拉…
-警察问她了吗？ -嗯
去学校找她了
我能跟她说两句吗？
塔拉
你认识这个人吗？
-他有没有去过你家？ -不认识
好孩子 还有呢？
她问我有没有去看电影
然后呢？
11月10日…
我那天地理考试
对！
之后我和妈妈去看了 《爱宠大机密2》
好的
-还有吗？ -他就问了这些
-好的 -晚安
-没事吧？ -嗯
还有一件事
你有没有跟谁提起过这部电影？
比如你的朋友？
有的 我最好的朋友玛丽亚
好的 谢谢
家里有热的东西喝吗？
噶伦堡有敲门的习俗吗？
有助于锻炼关节
而且这房子很老了
不好意思 没什么客人来家里
看出来了
咖啡？
好的 咖啡 火 煤炭 只要是热的就行
请坐
坐哪里？
哎！
纳伦
什么鬼？
（《死亡的游戏》）
这不是我们从帝王影院偷的吗？
不是我们 是你
我只是陪你去罢了
那也是共犯
哎 小心
海报太旧了 会破
真不错
你还保存了什么？
-咖啡好了 -噢
有了咖啡 我感觉又活过来了
谢谢
这是什么？
数学题
以及解题所需的年数
真的？
还疯狂地与数学相爱？
还有谁会爱我呢？
这倒是
不过也总得努力一把 因为…
-“努力总有回报” -“努力总有回报”
这一题要花15年
嗯 如果我能全身心投入的话
我曾经花10年解一道题
然后呢？
有人比我早两天解开了那道题
什么？
10年汗水付诸东流？
后来你做了什么？
要是我的话 一定会崩溃
对了 你保养得不错嘛
我们同龄 但你看起来只有我一半年纪
-还有一头茂密的头发 -这倒是真的
再走四步 你就输了
你和谁下棋？
我自己
邻居这么漂亮 你居然和自己下棋
不好意思 不该这么开玩笑
不过确实很棒 我是说咖啡很棒
关于你这个漂亮邻居 我需要你帮忙
怎么了？
她现在是我的头号嫌疑人
她已故的丈夫？
对
怀疑德索萨女士杀夫？
不光是怀疑
她是唯一的嫌疑人
-不是吧？ -是的
你帮我留意她 好吗？
如果你不是她的邻居 我不会开口
留意有没有什么可疑的事
德索萨女士怎么可能杀人？
她是一个简单、顾家的女人
也许是
也许不是
（噶伦堡警察局）
（印度国家银行）
德索萨女士 你忘记在这里签字了
-谢谢 -谢谢
德索萨女士！
又怎么了？
我就觉得是你
我刚才看见你在警察局门口
刚才？
你视力真不错
我是说几分钟前
你刚好路过警察局？
你在跟踪我？
没有 你怎么会这么觉得？
因为我女儿说谎的时候 就像你现在这样
呃 我是想跟你说一下你丈夫的事
-可以以后再说嘛？我快迟到了… -有点急
我得去上班
我们必须谈谈
你有传唤证吗？
德索萨女士 你是不是电视看多了？
我没有传唤证 但如果你一定要 我可以申请一张
但如果我拿着传唤证去你的餐厅
就不太好看了
尤其对生意不好
别生气 不会占用你太多时间

-纳伦老师！ -嗯？
校长找你
德索萨女士 不介意的话
我想点一些吃的
不知怎么的 我来这里之后 就老是觉得饿
反正都占用我的时间了 吃就吃吧
-麻烦 -先生
有什么好介绍？
我们的龙馍馍比较推荐
龙馍馍 好吃吗？
好吃 馍馍很出名
好的 我要很出名的馍馍
一盘猪肉馍馍
配特制魔鬼椒辣酱
女士 对他会不会太辣？
没事
就按我说的做
哇 你会说尼泊尔语
-点了很出名的馍馍 对吧？ -对
但会有一点辣
没事 我天生爱吃辣
我要迟到了
11月10日你做了哪些事
能不能再和我说一次？
-再说一次？ -对
麻烦你了
纳伦
（校长）
期末考试麻烦出一套简单的数学卷
简单一点？为什么 校长？
家长投诉
说你布置的数学家庭作业 孩子们不会做
家长也不会做
连我都看不懂 校长
校长 但是那些题并不难
只是看起来难 他们要用逻辑去解题
纳伦 学生来这里是上高中
不是拿博士学位
谢谢
你要不要…
阿吉特…
你丈夫为什么来这里？
我跟你说过了 为了钱
13年没见妻子
从来没见过自己的女儿
他来居然只是为了钱？
-为什么？ -这你得问阿吉特
德索萨女士
-不会太辣吧？ -不辣
为什么会有人来噶伦堡杀阿吉特呢？
还想让我把你的工作也做了？
你得走了
我和你见面 就是想说…
杀害你丈夫的凶手仍然逍遥法外
所以你要小心
如果发现任何可疑的事
请通知警方
就为了说这些？
-你找我来就为了说这些？ -对
你之前这么忧心忡忡 好像以为要逮捕你似的
下次直接打电话叫我去警察局就行
哎呀！
麻烦 有糖吗？
“糖”用尼泊尔语怎么说？ 请给我一些
-迪普克 -什么事 老师？
你觉得我的数学考卷难吗？
特别难 老师 超出了我的理解范围
那就提高你的理解范围 这个世界不会为你降低标准
（卡兰·阿南德）
我想你
你找我？
不是我 是乃杜
他找我们
-他有新的信息 -我也有
好傻啊！
塔拉看了《爱宠大机密2》 却没看《爱宠大机密1》
她能看懂什么？
她并不是为了看懂剧情
而是为了证明 她11月10日不在犯案现场
对吗？
你没事吧？
不知道 我在“龙馍馍”餐厅吃了点东西
好想吐
-吃魔鬼辣椒酱了？ -是什么？
“龙馍馍”的一种特制酱料 非常辣
专门点了才会上
走吧？
算你厉害 德索萨女士
看
（尸检报告：阿吉特·马特雷）
在火烧之前 他先被勒死
真的？
这是在脖子上发现的痕迹
可能是毛毡包裹的电线或线缆勒的
就像热得快上的那种？
没错
热得快上的那种
而且我认为后脑上的伤口
是热得快的棒打的
热得快？
螺圈加热器 在噶伦堡 家家户户的卫生间里都有
医生 这里的卫生间在哪里？
玛雅 看 那个帅哥
-快打烊 -为什么？
-别吵了 让你打烊就打烊 -让他进来啊
让那两个人买单 然后送客 快点
快点
哎 他看见我了
老师 比一场？五局见分晓！
-这次我一定会赢！ -输了硬币归我
一言为定
-好的 谢谢 -谢谢
普丽玛 快点关
快点
-不好意思 要打烊了？ -对
没有
谢谢
一 二 三
-再来 老师 -有什么用呢？
-这次我会赢… -你不够专注
已经三比零了 哪怕现在你赢了 硬币也归我
明白吗？ 难道这也超出了你的理解范围？
有什么事吗？
-这里有馍馍吗？ -有
迪芬餐厅的馍馍是最棒的
真的？我很喜欢吃馍馍！
我今天在“龙馍馍”吃了馍馍
“龙馍馍”！
你没吃那里的特制辣酱吧？
-什么特制辣酱？ -你没吃 对吧？谢天谢地
那是噶伦堡最辣的…
是全世界最辣的辣酱
-胡扯 -什么胡扯？
有两个人吃了之后住院 忘了吗？
-什么？ -真的
还好我们没点
只给本地人吃
普丽玛 去打扫吧
听见了吗？有人吃了之后住院
-我差点没命 -胡说
最多就是胃疼
不过还是要说句抱歉
德索萨女士 你让我受了这样的苦 光道歉可没用
你得补偿我才行
纳伦！哎 纳伦！
一副神不守舍的样子
是在想着怎么解数学题吗？
不是
-学生的问题 -学生的问题
怎么了？
我有一个学生 我今天骂他骂得有点过分
好学生还是坏学生？
“世界上没有坏学生”
-“只有坏老师” -“只有坏老师”
-你出的考卷一定特别难 -没有
没那么难
我要他们用脑子 而不光是背公式
我在几何题里 隐藏一个代数问题
他们应该要会答
在几何题里隐藏代数问题？
哎 你这个老师太狠了
我不这样做的话 这些孩子永远不会思考
只会相信别人告诉他们的东西
永远不会找到真相
知道“P=NP”方程吗？
不知道 超出我的理解范围了
“P=NP”的意思是
对于任何给出的问题 要不就是我们自己找到答案
要不就接受别人给我们的答案
举个例子呢？
树上有五只鸟
我打下来一只 树上还剩几只？
-四只？ -对
-对吗？ -对
怎么了？
我给了你一个答案 你接受了
-对 -但如果你多想一点
就会知道枪声会把所有鸟都吓走
真相就在你面前
但你没有看见
这是数学还是逻辑？
数学就是逻辑
对了 你来这里干什么？ 是来看我的吗？
那个漂亮的嫌疑人 我得问她几个问题 但是…
你好
德索萨女士 你认识纳伦 对吧？
纳伦 德索萨逼我去K歌酒吧
你要和我们一起去吗？
我得工作 有一些卷子要批
你们俩去吧
走吧？
谢谢你带我来这里
我以前没来过K歌酒吧
但是孟买有很多K歌酒吧…
你们好 大家平安喜乐！
亲爱的噶伦堡人
你们今晚还好吗？
-很好！ -很好！
好的！你们已经知道今天是什么日子
会有什么安排
-对！ -对！
好的
会有什么安排？
今天是周二 对吧？
对 今天是周二
周二怎么了？
每周二举办K歌比赛
趁还没开始 我们赶紧走
就待五分钟
我们听完一首歌就走 求你了
开始！
是时候高歌一曲了
只要别…
-唱错！ -唱错！
第一首歌
来找我 我的爱人
有谁来吗？
有吗？
我的心渴求你
满怀期待等着你
别让我祈求 我的爱人
这是哪首歌？
拜托 这首歌很简单
-大家都会 -你会吗？
我怎么会忘记？
她会
-哇！这才对嘛 -这位女士会唱
-你疯了吗？ -请来吧 女士
-掌声鼓励一下！ -别害羞 唱就是了
我要回家
唱完再回家
-来吧！ -不…
-我现在不想唱 -请吧
-求你了 -各位 她来了
为这位女士鼓掌！
来找我 我的爱人
我的心渴求你
满怀期待等着你
别让我祈求 我的爱人
谢谢！
-完了？再唱一遍 求你了 -不唱了
再唱一遍 求你了
就一遍
来找我 我的爱人
我的心渴求你
满怀期待等着你
来找我 我的爱人
我的心渴求你
满怀期待等着你
别让我祈求 我的爱人
胜者已经产生
谢谢
因为你
我今天品尝了馍馍 还享受了唱K
我也要谢谢你
我都不记得上一次这么开心 是什么时候了
你上周不是去过吗？
那是为了塔拉
我得走了
晚安
她11月10日来过这里吗？
满怀期待等着你
应该没有
嗯 桑达尔 找到了吗？
-妈妈 -塔拉 你还没睡？
妈妈 警察来过
什么时候？谁？
桑达尔·辛格
他把螺圈加热器拿走了
-那个？ -对
一定是老师
他之前打过来问你回来没有
喂？
-德索萨女士？ -老师
-警察… -我知道 我听到了
但是你为什么和卡兰一起去呢？
他老是盯着我
所以我想着去一趟 省得他再来烦我
-怎么样？ -没怎么样
他反复问我11月10日发生了什么
就这样？
嗯
他们计划好的
一个人骗你出去 另一个人拿走热得快
为什么？
因为他们已经查出 杀死阿吉特的凶器是什么
警方还在怀疑你 他们会全方面调查
德索萨女士 你得小心一点才行
好的
对了
有没有发生别的事？
-哪里？ -和卡兰…
在K歌酒吧
没有
晚安 德索萨女士
妈妈 你是和普丽玛阿姨去的吗？
不是
我为什么要和普丽玛一起去？
-你去之前没问一下老师吗？ -我又不是他的学生
没必要问他
如果他不帮我们了怎么办？
谢谢
螺圈加热器不吻合
这不是凶器
那我们结案？
只在噶伦堡结案 我们会在孟买继续调查
玛雅·德索萨提供的证据都是真的？
没错
K歌酒吧有人打电话来说 那天夜里她去了酒吧
那是谁杀了阿吉特？
我不知道 长官
之前嫌疑人是玛雅·德索萨
现在
是“X”
嫌疑人X？
是的 长官
嫌疑人X
德索萨女士 有时间吗？
-我很忙 -就两分钟
计时
又有什么事？
想再去戈姆普餐厅 查一下我去过没有？
就像在K歌酒吧一样
怎么办呢？
这是警察的工作方式 我们必须这样做
但是过了今天 我不会再烦你
我只是想跟你说一下
我要回孟买了
我得走了 有客人来了
好的
-以后再来嘛 -啊？
以后还要再来噢 带她出去
她总是忙着工作
都不考虑自己
怎么会呢？
她一定有很多仰慕者
除了老师之外 一个也没有
老师？
你朋友
-除了他之外… -等一下 纳伦？
-但是他很少来这里 -你说什么啊？
他每天都来 一天不落
普丽玛！
对了 你保养得不错嘛
我们同龄 但你看起来只有我一半年纪
还有一头茂密的头发
纳伦
11月10日 纳伦
11月10日纳伦老师休假
天呐！
这么多年来 他头一回休假
你好
-你好 -进来吧
我在这里就行
哎 别害怕 进来吧
你还记得吗？倒下七次…
…第八次站起来
不好意思 我不知道你在等我
我想着我们一起回去 有事跟你说
什么事？
这个案子
还有那个漂亮的嫌疑人
我要谢谢你
谢我什么？
你还记得吗？
你跟我说真相就在面前
但我们却看不到
嗯 怎么了？
我在这个案子上也犯了同样的错误
我一直在查德索萨女士
一直在想怎么拆穿她的谎言
然后就没看到面前的真相？
对
我根本没考虑 她所说的一切 可能都是真的
也就是说德索萨女士没有杀人？
证据清楚地证明 11月10日她不在犯罪现场
但是如果她有帮手
那就有可能了
11月10日你在哪里？
我现在是嫌疑人了？
我是警察 我必须问你
11月10日我整天都在家里
那天我不舒服
如果有需要 你能证明你说的话吗？
不能
我当时不知道会有这种事 否则我就留点证据了
你不要难过 但我必须逮捕你的德索萨女士
“我的德索萨女士”？
别装了
普丽玛说你去迪芬餐厅就是为了她
对 我有时候确实会去
她说：“每天来
一天不落”
纳伦
有这么漂亮的邻居 如果是我 也会去
我一天会去很多次
不过有一件事我还是没想明白
你能帮帮我吗？
嗯
不论凶手是谁
此人都把阿吉特弄得无法辨认身份
目的是不让别人怀疑德索萨女士
但他没有把衣服全部烧光
只烧了一半
多五分钟就能烧完
他为什么这么做？
你是警察
我只是一个数学老师
老师
怎么了？
我不明白
起初警察说不怀疑我
然后
他们开始问你的事
问我的事？
他们说什么？
-请不要生气… -我为什么会生…
请告诉我吧
警察问了
然后我的员工说你来迪芬餐厅…
就是为了我
就好像你爱上了我似的…
没有 怎么会呢？我…
怎么可能呢？
是啊
我也跟他们说了很多次
说我们之间没什么
但是
我不知大他们为什么这么说
说你爱上了我
他们不好好做自己的事
反而老是在说你
我跟他们说了很多次
不要在这些事上浪费时间
这不会有什么问题 对吧？
对不起
你生气了？
没有的事
你能告诉我
我很高兴
不管怎么说
他们已经行动
现在轮到我们了
轮到我们了？
-对 -妈妈…
晚上好 老师
我一会儿回来
德索萨女士 你得答应我一件事
不论发生什么
你和塔拉都要置身事外
就当什么都没发生过一样
什么都不要做
什么都不要说
只有这样 你们俩才会安全
我不明白
我以后会向你解释
（不用化妆 你素颜更美）
早上好 老师
老师 玩一次？
-但是你没硬币 -老师你有啊
-准备好了吗？ -好了 老师
一 二 三！
我终于赢了！
你是零除以鸡蛋！
零除以鸡蛋？
这个方程超出了我的理解范围
不可能是她一个人做的 一定有人帮她
她很狡猾…
兄弟！ 这是毫无缘由地骚扰德索萨女士
已经证明她不是凶手 好吗？
我跟你说 凶手就是她
而且有人帮助她抛尸
谁？
你有证据吗？
你什么证据都没有
你这是在毫无必要地诋毁德索萨女士
-什么？ -长官！快来！
又怎么了？
再说一次
是我杀了阿吉特·马特雷
是玛雅·德索萨让我杀的
你们应该把她也抓起来
巴布 炒饭好了吗？
你得去警察局一趟
-我现在有点忙 -有急事
-我在工作 -我也在工作
你有传唤证吗？
有
11月10日 我第一次见到他
他当时在我们楼外面晃荡
-他？ -阿吉特
但我当时并不知道他是谁
我什么都不知道
他怎么会杀阿吉特呢？
然后呢？
然后我去问他
他说自己是德索萨女士的丈夫
说玛雅想见他
我知道他在说谎
等一下 你当时怎么知道他在说谎
因为玛雅以前什么事都跟我说
她跟我说再也不想见到丈夫
我没跟他说过
但是你之前跟我说 你和德索萨女士不太熟
我们对外都是这么说
什么？
我是德索萨女士的保镖
保护她是我的职责
为了避免大家说闲话 我们之间的关系对外保密
我在学校当老师
所以名誉对我来说很重要
他每天都来餐厅
我们也拿他开玩笑
但对我们来说 他就是一般的客人
这些事 你从没跟我说过
你是笨蛋吗？
我怎么会跟你说？你是谁啊？
没人知道 连她女儿都不知道
然后发生了什么？
阿吉特想要见玛雅
我抓住这次机会 跟他说玛雅去寺庙附近探望一个人
他相信你了？
他对噶伦堡能有多少了解呢？
他在这里连路都不认得
有人告诉他地址 他高兴还来不及
他很蠢
等一下
你第一次见到阿吉特 就计划要杀他？
没错
如果有人要伤害玛雅
消灭他就是我的职责
-你怎么杀他的？ -被我勒死的
没时间买东西
我就从家里拿了 螺圈加热器、煤油和火柴
只要他的身份不暴露 玛雅就不会被怀疑
没错
然后呢？
然后我看见 他在荒无人烟的地方找玛雅
他确实很蠢
然后我跟着他
用加热器打他的后脑
用电源线缠着他的脖子 从后面勒
我每天练习柔术 力气很大
并没有我想象中那么难
杀死他之后 你做了什么？
我先把他的衣服都脱掉
然后用一块大石头砸烂他的脸
就像开椰子一样
使他的脸无法辨认
然后我用打火机烧他的手指
毁掉指纹
然后把煤油淋在他身上 一把火烧了
火柴
只有凶手 才能如此详尽地描述谋杀过程
然后呢？
然后我把他的衣服烧掉
但是火苗很高 我怕被别人看见
于是就跑了
你有没有告诉德索萨女士 你杀了阿吉特？
没有 我不想冒险
女人守不住秘密
那德索萨女士 是什么时候让你杀阿吉特的？
她每天晚上都悄悄地对我说
-怎么说的？ -她会在自己的公寓里说
我会透过墙上的洞听
长官！
哎 小心 海报太旧了 会破
你会偷听她们说话？
不是！
是她自己悄悄对我说的
她假装在和塔拉说话 但其实是在向我吐露心声
我根本不知道
我把塔拉当作最好的朋友
什么事都跟她说
关于德索萨女士的一切 你就是这样发现的？
-“发现”？是她自己告诉我的 -她从没直接跟你说过 对吧？
-也许是你误会… -胡说八道！
是她对我说的！
母亲会对女儿说丈夫骚扰自己
希望丈夫死掉吗？
你是警察 动动脑子！
她的那些话是对我说的！
她是悄悄地在找我帮忙！
有可能
有时候说这样的话也不奇怪
墙上的洞
她知道吗？
不知道 也不需要知道
每天到家之后 我就会告诉她
如果她有麻烦 就可以告诉我
-你怎么告诉她的？ -我会给她打电话
如果电话铃没响满五次 她就接起然后挂断
说明一整天都没事
如果没接
就说明她有话跟我说
她会假装是在和塔拉说
德索萨女士知道你打电话吗？
知道 你可以问她
什么？没有
三个月前 有人开始打电话给我
每天夜里都会接到一个电话
大概是八点到八点半
他会跟我说我私生活的事
就好像有人在暗中监视我似的
我很害怕
所以后来就不接电话了
但你为什么突然决定坦白一切？
因为她背叛了我
要是早知道她会背叛我 我决不会杀他丈夫
她把我变成了杀人犯 她也应该受到惩罚
她怎么背叛你的？
不是吧
你是说我？
纳伦 我们之间没什么
别撒谎了 卡兰
我看见你们俩在K歌酒吧
我不是瞎子
看见了什么 我自己知道
我知道老师喜欢我
但我不知道他会做出这样的事
以前有人给我写奇怪的信
多数都扔掉了
但我留下了这三封作为证明
“不用化妆 你素颜更美”
“如果需要帮助 就告诉我 你今天似乎忧心忡忡”
“卡兰 我永远不会原谅你”
长官 有发现
（毛发移植手术 我们的工作成果）
卡兰！
（如何不留痕迹地抛尸）
对
这就是凶器
是不是感觉很奇怪？
是的 长官
这人也有点怪
从大学开始就这样
老话说
“天才与疯狂之间仅有一步之遥”
你确定是他谋杀了阿吉特？
百分百确定 长官
他知道的细节 只有凶手才会知道
而且在他公寓发现的螺圈加热器
上面有阿吉特的皮肤组织
确定是凶器
那玛雅呢？
她的不在场证据都很明确
有多名证人证明她当时不在案发现场
好的
准备文件 起诉纳伦谋杀罪
把玛雅放了
是 长官
德索萨女士 你可以走了
我能和老师说两句话吗？
-为什么？ -我想问他为什么要这样做
他精神状态不稳定
-我跟你一起去 -不要
你在场的话 他不会说
为了让我安心
请让我单独跟他说几句
拜托了
晚上好 德索萨女士
你为什么要这样做？
不该这样做
为救命恩人做这样的事
当然是应该的
救命恩人？
我什么时候救你了？
你还记得第一次来我家吗？
问我要水管工的电话
那天我原本打算上吊
为什么？
为了我的初恋
数学
过去十年 我一直在努力解一道题
当我终于解开这道题时
我发现
有人比我早46小时把题解开了
我当时觉得自己的人生完了
这时你敲了我的门
-我不知道该怎么感谢你… -应该是我感谢你才对
让我回到初恋身边
-我会每天来看你… -不要
请不要来
还有一道数学题
我需要至少15年才能解开
让我把时间都放在数学上
这样才能把题解开
请照顾好塔拉 照顾好你自己
谢谢你 老师
谢谢你 德索萨女士
这女人是杀人犯！
别放她走！
她是杀人犯！
抓住她！
-别放她走！ -他疯了
-我们走吧 -你为什么放她走？
她是杀人犯！
我不是说了吗？
没人能把我从你身边抢走
老师把事情都处理好了
怎么处理的？
我不知道
数学的事 我永远搞不懂
知道“P=NP”方程吗？
“P=NP”的意思是
对于任何给出的问题 要不就是我们自己找到答案
要不就接受别人给我们的答案
德索萨女士
我们得为你和塔拉搜集一些证据
（没有尸体=没有德索萨女士）
但所有的证据都对我不利
将同样的证据 变为对你有利
一具阿吉特的尸体
唯一的嫌疑人 玛雅·德索萨
（阿吉特=玛雅）
因为阿吉特死于9日
德索萨女士在9日没有不在场证据
但是
如果阿吉特死于10日
她就能有很多不在场证据
因此 在9日 嫌疑人就是玛雅·德索萨
但是在10日
嫌疑人就变为X
你得再死一次
陌生人大概1.8米高
爱丽丝维拉酒店
两天前入住 已经预付了三天房费
所以我们还有一天时间
（请勿打扰）
老师 我很害怕
在警察来抓我之前
-我是不是应该先去自首？ -不
你按我说的做
他来的时候 只回答他问你的事
不要主动提供信息
最重要的是
你要当作阿吉特还活着
那他的尸体呢？
永远不可能发现他的尸体
你用什么勒他的？
热得快的电线
必须在尸体开始僵硬之前 把他的衣服脱掉
通过衣服可以查出人的身份
老师 能麻烦你帮帮我们吗？
别担心 德索萨女士
我会处理好
不过有一件事我还是没想明白
不论凶手是谁
此人都把阿吉特弄得无法辨认身份
但他没有把衣服全部烧光
只烧了一半
他为什么这么做？
（孟买警察局 阿吉特·马特雷）
不会出事的
没人能把我从你身边抢走
老师说过
他会处理好所有的事
是我杀了阿吉特·马特雷
（10日阿吉特=X=纳伦？）
我是德索萨女士的保镖
保护她是我的职责
我给了你一个答案 你接受了
但如果你多想一点 就会知道
真相就在你面前
但你没有看见
这是数学还是逻辑？
数学就是逻辑
Mumma!
Mumma, hurry up now!
Hurry up, Mumma. We're getting late.
Tara, stop nagging me.
-See how it feels? -Just because she got ready early…
You "nag" me just like this.
Tara!
Again, you've left the heater in the water!
If there was one thing you could do properly!
Tara!
What, Mumma?
Please, hurry up.
Come on, Miss Nag-Nag. Weren't you getting late?
Mumma! Mumma, you are impossible. Mumma!
-Mumma, listen. -See, I caught you.
Mumma, give me the phone.
-Mumma, phone! -Here, take it.
Thank you.
Mumma, you know I'm 13, right?
I can go to the school by myself.
-Really? -Yes.
-I'm serious. -Oh, I didn't know you were serious.
Good morning, Teacher.
Hello.
Good morning, Mrs. Dsouza. How are you doing?
How are you?
Good morning, Teacher.
Good morning…
Good morning, Teacher.
Good morning, Mrs. Dsouza. How are you doing?
Good morning, Teacher.
Hi. Good morning, Mrs. Dsouza.
So, what are you doing this evening?
-Good morning, Teacher. -Good morning.
No, no… please ask.
Yes?
It looks a little difficult, Mrs. Dsouza.
-Good morning, Teacher. -Good morning.
You know, I have dojo after my class.
Oh, no. You don't have to say "please".
All right.
It's okay. I'll be there.
Sure.
Are you sure?
Good morning, Teacher.
Hello, sir.
-Good morning, Teacher. -Good morning.
Are you sure?
All right, then.
I'll see you.
Good morning.
Look, look! Teacher is here.
Thank you.
So? He comes here every day.
What was that?
I hope you know that he comes here just for you.
-Are you crazy? -Yes, I am crazy.
And you're blind. Teacher comes here just for you.
Yesterday, you were absent. So, he didn't come either.
Why is that?
How would Teacher know when I have my day off?
-Even I don't know that. -Isn't he your neighbor?
He must be keeping a close eye on you.
Like Shah Rukh Khan in Darr.
Please, don't say that.
Good morning.
What if he asks you out on a date?
What?
Good morning, Teacher.
Good morning, Mrs. Dsouza.
Good morning, Teacher.
You didn't come yesterday.
It's just…
Yesterday… I…
I had… home.
Hello.
I'm Maya Dsouza.
I've just moved into the flat next door.
Would you happen to know any plumber here?
There is leakage in my flat.
Thank you.
Something… at home…
-Egg fried rice? -Yes, please.
Babu, one egg fried rice special.
It's ready!
-Good morning, Teacher. -Good morning.
Thank you.
How did you find me?
If you search hard enough, even God can be found.
You are only my wife.
I have nothing to do with you.
Please, leave from here.
I have just found you after 14 years.
How can I leave without having a chat?
-We have nothing to talk about. -Of course we do.
In fact, there are so many things to talk about.
If I started counting them, then
there will be at least 1.5 million things to talk about.
Maya, come here.
Maya?
You changed your name?
And profession.
I can't talk now.
After 2:00 p.m.
-Should I come back after 2:00 p.m.? -No.
Not here.
Be there.
Maya.
Good morning, Teacher.
Good morning, sir.
Morning, sir.
-Sir! -No, Dipok. I don't have time right now.
-Sir, please! -Dipok, no!
Sir, please!
-Let's go. -Today, I'll defeat you for sure.
Please win. So I am also free from this.
You really want to lose?
Every teacher wants to lose to his student.
Let's go.
-Ready? -Ready, sir.
Okay. One, two, three!
Yes, got it.
I've won.
How? How did you do it?
How many times have I told you, pay attention to the right thing.
Your duty is to save the coin, not to defeat me.
Karan!
Hey. Gently, bro.
That was gentle.
-What is it? -The commissioner wants to see you.
-Right now? -Yes.
Sorry, man. I have to go. I have been summoned by the boss.
Lucky boy.
-The boss saved you. -From?
-My gentleness. -Karan.
-Go on. That's your chance to escape. -We're getting late. Come.
Go.
Can I just get a minute, please? By the watch.
Thirty seconds.
Twenty.
Come.
Time?
Fifty-eight seconds.
Come on. Let's go.
I thought you are going to get thrashed badly.
Me too.
All the major money-laundering traders have named Ajit.
He is managing their black money.
Find him.
He's our only link to the racket.
Sir.
Who the fuck do you think you are? People will just wait for you?
Come here!
One more time!
Again!
Twirl!
Who are you?
-Police. -Get lost.
We have already paid for the month.
"Get lost"?
You are talking to me as if I'm a beggar.
Hey. Haven't you heard it before?
What?
The sound of breaking bones.
Oh, yes. I have heard it.
Mithun da. Ashanti. Am I right?
That's great. I am a Mithun fan too.
"Any doubt?"
Too good! Too good.
Just work on that paunch, bro.
What do you want?
You… and our friend here…
So, you are not friends anymore?
Where can I find Ajit?
I don't know.
You, keep practicing. Don't just stand there.
Think about it.
If Ajit is found,
you will never have to give him anything.
Whatever it is you give him.
Which I know nothing about.
He was here a week ago.
Completely drunk. He kept blabbering something.
Something about him winning a lottery in Kalimpong.
"Lottery"?
Soniya.
My darling, Soniya--
Do not.
You're not at all happy seeing me, are you?
I have changed, Soniya.
I am no longer that man.
-What do you want? -Listen to me.
I am
quitting the police force.
And the other side businesses too.
Now, I'm going to lead a life of honesty.
Look, you took my money when you left.
I mean, took it or stole it…
I don't know. I have forgotten it.
I have forgotten the past.
You should also forget.
What do you want?
Don't you dare touch me.
I just want you by my side.
Can't we be a family once again? You, me,
and our daughter.
How do you know about Tara?
Tara.
Such a cute name.
One day, she'll definitely be a star.
She looks very pretty too. She has taken after you.
How do you know what she looks like?
I saw her at her school.
Mumma, where are you taking me?
Mumma, I have tennis practice.
Mumma.
-Good night, Teacher. -Good night.
TEESTA JUJITSU CLUB
Naren-san.
Practice?
Mumma, I'm bored. What should I do?
Do what you want. Just don't bother me.
Mumma!
Go and finish your bath.
Can I play some music?
Not here. Take it to your room.
Tara, when is your tennis fee due?
Twenty-fifth.
Twenty-fifth…
Who's there?
It's me, Ajit.
Who's here, Mumma?
Just go in your room.
Soniya.
Why are you here? Just leave.
We didn't finish our conversation.
You ran away, just like you did 14 years ago.
Please, leave.
Or I'll call the police.
Why? I am already here.
I am still a police officer.
Call me.
Ajit…
Please, leave. Or I will really call the police.
Come on. A husband
is visiting his wife.
Is that a crime?
Go ahead, call the police. I'll wait.
Now, I know where you live.
At least, hear me out.
Please open.
Think about it.
Open it.
What, Soniya…
Shall we sit inside?
No, no need for that.
No problem.
Your home is so clean.
Shall I sit here?
I don't have any money.
Did I ask?
For people like you, money is everything.
And I don't have any.
"For people like you."
Means?
I am a bad person?
So be it.
Mumma, the heater is not working.
Go back inside! Right now!
I had never imagined that I will be a father.
And that too… of such a pretty girl.
Wait here.
I'm so sorry.
Everything will be all right, okay?
That's all I have.
This wasn't really necessary.
Please, leave.
I don't have anything else to give you.
Of course you do.
Tara.
Tara?
What do you mean?
You can see a glimpse of a woman in that little girl.
Have you lost your mind?
It's obvious.
Didn't I say
that Tara will be a star someday?
And when the world sees her, they will shower money on her.
And on you also,
like before.
-I'm sure, you miss-- -Don't you dare touch me!
Get out of my home.
Soniya.
Maya, Chandramukhi,
Paro, or whoever you are.
You are still my wife.
And… Tara is my daughter.
And this is my house.
I will come whenever I want.
And I will do… whatever I want.
Ajit, please,
don't come back.
I… I will send you money every month.
Please, don't come back.
I can live away from you,
but how can I live away from my daughter?
I have so much to learn about her.
So much to teach her.
In fact, why don't you start teaching her?
Who can be a better teacher than her own mother?
After that, you can come with us,
or me and my daughter will go.
I am not your daughter!
How dare you hit your father?
Is this what you've taught her?
Ajit…
Come here, my lottery. I'll teach you how to behave
-just like I taught your mom-- -Mumma!
-Don't touch her!
Soniya!
Don't worry.
I won't leave any marks.
You know it, right?
Mumma! Mumma!
-I'll bury the both of you! -Mumma!
How dare you hit my daughter?
Mumma!
Let go!
Mumma!
Mumma.
Mumma!
What have I done?
Ajit!
Teacher, it's you.
Sorry, Mrs. Dsouza. I didn't mean to scare you.
No. It's not your fault.
Are you okay?
Yes. I am absolutely fine.
I… I was just a bit scared.
A cockroach had gotten inside the house.
So… I was just trying to kill it.
-Did you kill it? -Huh?
Did you kill the cockroach?
Oh, yes. I did.
Thank you, Teacher.
-Good night. -Good night, Mrs. Dsouza.
Mumma.
We'll have to call the police.
-Why? -What else can we do?
I killed him.
No, Mumma.
You didn't kill him.
I was the first one to hit him.
Don't you dare say that again.
Do you understand?
No matter what happens.
No matter what they ask you.
You don't know anything about what happened tonight.
If anything happens to you,
I will die.
What will we do now?
Who is it?
Mrs. Dsouza, this is Naren.
Teacher, from next door.
Teacher, can we speak tomorrow?
I just wanted to ask,
what will you do now?
Sorry, Teacher?
What did you just say?
I just wanted to ask, what will you do now?
What do you mean?
It's okay if you are calling the police.
Otherwise, perhaps I could help you.
-What? -Mrs. Dsouza,
it's not easy to hide a dead body.
You may not be able to manage it by yourself.
Go inside.
Teacher, how did you find out about this?
There is a formula in mathematics.
If A is equal to B is equal to C,
then,
A is equal to C.
I don't understand.
Let me explain.
A is equal to
that stranger who visited your café this morning.
B is equal to fear.
The fear that appeared on your face when you saw him.
C is equal to cockroach.
Which created the same fear as the stranger did.
A is equal to B is equal to C.
The stranger
is equal to fear,
is equal to cockroach.
Therefore,
the stranger is equal to cockroach.
And you yourself said that you killed the cockroach.
But… how did you know that he was the same man?
There were some other clues. Like, a cigarette butt at your door.
The stink of cigarette smoke in the corridor.
And when I was at the door,
I got a glimpse of a pair of boots wrapped in a rug.
The size of an average rug
is between five-and-a-half to six feet.
And that stranger
was around 5'11".
You found out everything so easily.
Not everything.
I don't know who he is.
He was my husband.
I got away from him with a lot of difficulty.
But he found us again.
He forcefully tried to take away my daughter and…
Before the police arrests me,
should I just confess to them?
Mumma, I will not let you go.
Tara.
Just keep quiet. Go inside.
Mumma,
-but you haven't killed-- -Tara, shut up.
Mrs. Dsouza…
Mrs. Dsouza, the question is,
how will the police view all this.
What do you mean?
It won't be easy to hide it from the police,
what you are trying to hide from me.
I'm not hiding anything.
Someone tightened a wire around his neck from behind.
I did that.
And when
he tried to save himself,
someone else held his hands.
His hands have scratch marks caused by nails.
That was also me.
You would need four hands to do that.
But you have… only two.
If a novice like me can find out the truth so easily,
then the police will see through this lie even faster.
Hence, you will have to think before you call the police.
And what if we don't call the police?
That's a possibility too.
-We're not gonna do anything of that sort. -Mumma!
Please let Teacher help us at least.
I hope you know
-that he comes here just for you. -What?
Teacher, if you help us, won't you get framed as well?
-I am already entangled in it. -But you haven't done anything.
It's a crime to hide the truth, Mrs. Dsouza.
Teacher, will you please help us?
If we don't call the police, how will we hide the body?
-But why should we hide it? -Then?
Sometimes, telling the truth is the best strategy.
But before that…
the entire house needs to be thoroughly cleaned.
Even the cigarette butts outside.
You can do that?
Can you come with me?
Is your husband a policeman?
Yes.
You strangled him with?
The cord of the heater.
Coil heater?
Yes.
You will have to clean it.
No, let it be. I will do it myself.
Was your meeting planned beforehand?
No. He just landed here, all of a sudden.
Then I met him at Lee's.
Lee's?
-The place where couples secretly meet? -Yes.
Good. The waiters at that place are used to turning a blind eye.
That… is my money.
Hotel Alice Villa.
He checked in two days ago, and he made an advance payment for three days.
That means we still have one more day.
Ajit Mhatre.
Assistant sub-inspector.
Mrs. Dsouza…
Mrs. Dsouza, it's very likely that someone will come here looking for him.
And if he is found…
then… they will find you as well.
What's a simple solution to this?
No body.
No Mrs. Dsouza.
Teacher, I am not understanding this math.
How is this possible?
I don't know.
I'm also thinking.
We need to remove his clothes before rigor mortis sets in.
What?
You can identify a person from clothes. The clothes can't be found.
Will you please help me?
Let it be.
You help Tara.
I will take care of this.
Sorry.
Mrs. Dsouza,
we will have to gather some evidence for you and Tara.
But all the evidence is against me.
We will change the same evidence to support you.
Thank you, Teacher.
I may not be as good-looking as you,
but I am still alive.
Hey!
What did you do yesterday?
Nothing… I just cleaned the house.
-Nice. -Thank you.
Hello.
Sub-Inspector Sundar Singh.
Hi. Karan Anand.
But right now, I'm feeling like Harry Potter.
True, there is magic in our Kalimpong.
-Shall we go, sir? -But there is no sunlight.
-Nice place. -Yeah.
Ajit Mhatre.
This was his last known location.
We're trying to trace his cell phone, but he keeps changing his number, sir.
Kalimpong is not a very big place.
It may take a few days,
-but we'll find him. -Yes, sir.
-Mr. Sundar will work with you. -Sir.
I'll give you this photo.
-Send it to all the hotels here. -Okay.
Teacher?
Good evening, Mrs. Dsouza.
-Teacher, I am scared. -Why?
You did what I told you, right?
That's all. Then there's nothing to be scared about.
Good night, Mrs. Dsouza.
Have you seen this man?
-No, sir. -If you see him, call the police.
Give me something a little more specific. This area is really vast.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yes, do it.
-Did you find anything? -No.
Ajit made a call from somewhere around here.
There is just one network tower here.
But the area is spread across all sides of the hill.
They will call back from Mumbai.
Maybe we'll get something specific.
-All right. -Let's wait for a bit.
Okay.
Babu…
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Can I get some hot coffee, please?
-Of course. -Two.
Can I have one of these?
-Okay. -And one of these.
-No, no. Only coffee. -Hey!
One of these too, please.
Okay.
Take a seat. I'll send it.
Okay, thank you.
Ma'am, just one more thing.
Have you see this man?
Here or somewhere around?
-No. -No?
If you see him, please call the police station.
-Yeah. -Thank you.
-Good morning, Teacher. -Good morning, Mrs. Dsouza.
One egg fried rice, please.
Babu, one egg fried rice special.
-Good morning, Teacher. -Good morning, Teacher.
Morning.
Naroo!
You… Bro, what are the chances?
One out of 95675.
-Wrong. You didn't count me. -I did.
The current population is 95674.
Naroo! So good to see you.
You haven't changed at all.
Nobody can defeat you when it comes to numbers.
-How come you are in Kalimpong? -I'm looking for someone.
Yes.
Okay. Oh, lovely.
All right. Thank you.
Naroo, I have to go now.
But let's meet, okay? Where do you teach?
How did you know that I teach?
Everyone is calling you "Teacher"
as if they are giving attendance in the class. Tell me.
Mount Hermon.
-Do you know it? -Yes.
Catch you later. Teacher!
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Thank you.
Teacher!
Mrs. Dsouza, we can't be seen speaking like this in public.
I know.
-But your friend was asking about Ajit. -So?
-I think he is in the police. -So?
You did what I told you, right?
-Yes. -That's it.
If there is anything more to be done, I will tell you
but we can't talk like this, in the middle of the street.
-This was the area, right? -Yeah.
It could be any one of these houses.
We'll have to inquire in every one of them.
Hello.
Yes. You found it?
Found the hotel. Alice Villa, on Upper Cart Road.
Let's go.
Are the rooms not cleaned here?
Sir, it wasn't done because he hanged "do not disturb" sign outside the door.
His luggage is here?
That means he's still here.
-When did you see him the last time? -The day he checked in.
Sir,
where is Mr. Mhatre?
We are looking for the answer to that question.
Sir, who will pay my hotel bills?
What's your name?
Sir, it's Pranay. Pranay Chamling.
Mr. Chamling,
do you know anything about this man?
Did he say or ask anything?
No, sir.
But the day he came here, he was asking about some school.
Wasn't there a school where we were just now?
-Kamalodaya? -Yes, sir. That's the one.
-Kamalodaya? -Yes, sir.
Mr. Chamling, he will pay the bill.
Nice room.
What are we doing here?
Waiting.
For?
Ajit has some connection with this school.
Isn't she… the one from the café?
Yes.
Ajit made a call from somewhere around here.
-Have you seen this man? -No.
Check until 15 years ago.
Her daughter's age is around 12 or 13 years.
Mother's name is Maya Dsouza.
-Hello? -Mrs. Dsouza.
It's me. Teacher.
Teacher,
why are you calling on the landline?
Is there a problem?
No.
But there can be.
-Your friend? -Yes.
Today, he followed you home.
Mrs. Dsouza, when you got married,
was it registered?
Yes.
Hello, Teacher. Teacher?
Mrs. Dsouza,
listen to me carefully.
Since college days I know how sharp Karan is.
And I also know
what he is thinking right now, at this moment.
You are his one and only suspect in Kalimpong, Mrs. Dsouza.
And very soon, he will come to you.
And he will hound you until he finds something
or until you confess yourself.
Wouldn't it be better to tell the police, Teacher--
No.
Just do what I've told you.
Teacher, but I don't know if I can--
You can do it, Mrs. Dsouza.
It's very easy.
When he comes, only answer what he asks.
Else, keep quiet.
Do not say anything on your own.
And yes,
the most important thing.
As far as you're aware,
Ajit is still alive.
But his body?
His body will never be found.
Who found the body?
The monks from the local monastery found it.
How do you know it's Ajit?
They also found his police ID.
Ram! Santosh!
Move it. Move them from here.
Sir.
Serious, huh?
Where's the ID?
-Hey, ID. -ID, please.
Give it to him.
Where was it found?
-Where was it found? -Here.
Blood.
Send this blood for DNA testing.
But what will we compare it with?
Why did you clean the room?
But, sir, you only complained about it.
I…
Oh, man. Mr. Sherling.
Chamling, sir. It's Chamling.
There are no cigarette butts. Or the glass.
Male. 99% body burnt.
He has been repeatedly struck on the face with a heavy object.
There is also a deep wound at the back of the head.
The fingers are 100% burnt.
No trace of the teeth or the eyes.
I believe, whoever has done it,
didn't want him to be identified.
And the DNA test? Did you find anything?
What we found from the toothbrush and the hair on the comb
matches 100% with the blood.
This is the body of Ajit Mhatre.
-Anything else? -Yes.
He died on the 10th,
at around 7:00 p.m.
Excuse me.
Yes, tell me.
Found the lottery.
Who is it?
Police. I want to talk to you about something.
Hello?
Good evening, ma'am.
Karan Anand, Mumbai police.
Tell me.
Ma'am, do you…
Do you know him?
-Yes. -How?
He is my husband.
But the other day you said that you don't know him.
Yes.
I don't want him anywhere around me or my daughter.
I've got nothing to do with him.
What has he done now?
When was the last time you met him?
A few days ago, he visited me.
Ma'am, you will have to accompany me to the police station.
-Why? -We
have found a dead body.
Dead?
Ajit? When?
We found it this morning.
That's why, if you can come
for identification.
Please, wait a minute.
Sure.
Behave, you dick.
Did she say anything?
Yes. This time, she said that she knows him.
-But… -But?
She is talking about Ajit
as if he is still alive.
How many times are we supposed to arrest you?
You just don't learn.
How many times more?
Do you… recognize any of these items?
Okay. Take a seat.
Mrs. Dsouza, we know that
Ajit Mhatre was married to a Soniya Dsouza.
Is that you?
-Yes. -When did you get married?
About 15-16 years ago.
And your daughter?
From our marriage.
Why was Ajit in Kalimpong?
I don't know.
Why did he meet you?
He wanted money.
He always wanted money.
He never thought about anything else except money.
Where did you meet Ajit for the first time?
At Paradise?
Mrs. Dsouza,
we got a photo from Paradise.
This one.
Is that you?
That's you, right?
-Yes. -Yes.
So, when you were doing this job at Paradise,
you met Ajit.
What's there to hide? You could have told us.
-You-- -No.
When I met Ajit,
I was an ordinary girl.
Who fell in love with someone and she married him.
After that, he sold me to Paradise.
Sold you?
Yes.
Whoever gave you that photo,
you can ask that person.
Sorry.
I will still have to ask you,
where were you on 10th evening?
Am I a suspect?
I am asking so that you don't become a suspect.
Tara and I went for a film on 10th evening.
-Where? -Capitol Cinema.
-When did you leave home? -Around 5:30 to 6:00 p.m.
And which film was this?
Pets 2.
Tara wanted to watch it.
Did you go back home after that?
No, we went out for dinner.
-Where? -Gomphu's.
Oh, very good food.
So after that, you came back home.
No. After that, we went to King's karaoke bar.
For some time.
Karaoke?
Tara wanted to.
Do you do this often?
Seldom. When we have time.
So, you watched a film, went to a restaurant,
after that, went to a karaoke bar.
Then, you reached home?
Around 11:00 p.m.
May I see that?
Thank you.
What happened?
-Something is not adding up in this story. -Meaning?
Who goes out on a Thursday? In the middle of the week?
The girl has school the next day. Who stays out till 11:00 p.m.?
But she said that her daughter wanted to do it.
I think it's nice that the mother and the daughter get along so well.
Do they get along or are they cooking up a story about the 10th?
If it's a story,
then, Sundar, my friend,
a very cunning mind is working behind that beautiful face.
Shall we go?
Naroo?
Naroo!
-Hello! -Hello.
What are you doing here?
I live here. What are you doing here?
Work.
In the morning, that lady at the café.
Where everyone was giving attendance to you.
-Tiffin. -Yes.
Maya Dsouza.
Do you know her?
You must be going to her café often?
I seldom go there. Just sometimes.
She is my neighbor. But we don't interact much.
Your neighbor?
Have you seen this man anywhere?
Here or somewhere around?
You never forget anything.
No.
Meet Naren Vyas.
The most brilliant student of our college. A certified genius at math.
That's not true.
Balls, that's not true.
Sundar, this was the final exam of math.
The questions were harder than rocks.
All of us were crying in the exam hall, like professional mourners.
On the paper, it said answer any six questions out of ten.
And then he arrived.
He answered all ten questions.
And wrote, "Mark any six out of ten."
He took the revenge for the entire class.
Wow!
Youth.
You haven't seen him anywhere?
No.
Who is he?
He is the husband of your neighbor.
But… late.
Dead?
Then why are you looking for a dead man?
We are looking for the person who killed him.
Murder?
You mean, Mrs. Dsouza--
No, standard questions.
-Do you return so late from school? -No.
Actually, I… was at dojo.
Dojo?
Naroo, you are still at it?
You?
I am coming to your dojo.
We were the best of the best in college.
Naroo could have played at the nationals if he wanted.
I see. Sorry, it's hard to believe looking at you.
I'm not.
No. I am visiting your dojo. We'll have a round together.
-Anytime. -Okay?
I will get going.
Man,
your neighbor is superhot.
Teacher.
They found the body.
I know.
I met Karan outside.
But you said that they will never find it.
You promised.
Don't worry, Mrs. Dsouza.
I'll take care of it.
What now?
You said what I told you, right?
Yes.
Did they ask anything to your daughter?
No, Tara was inside.
Sooner or later, they will interrogate her too.
Do you know what she is supposed to do then?
-Did you show them the film tickets? -No.
They didn't ask.
Good. Where are they?
I've kept them safely in the kitchen drawer--
No. Take them out and keep them in one of the pockets of your clothes.
As if you have forgotten them there.
Nobody keeps film tickets.
-Okay? -Okay.
-You must be going to her café often? -I seldom go there. Just sometimes.
Mrs. Dsouza…
Mrs. Dsouza, do the people from the café know that I go there every day?
What do you mean?
I mean, I'm asking if the staff working at your café
know that I go there to get food every day?
Look, look! Teacher is here.
Yes, all of them know.
And everyone likes you too.
Me too.
Do they know that I'm your neighbor?
Yes, it was me who told them.
-Was that a wrong thing to do? -No.
I'll take care of it.
Teacher…
Thank you, Teacher.
For doing this for us,
thank you.
What happened?
Tara?
Did something happen at school?
Then?
I'm sorry.
Because of me--
You didn't do anything wrong.
You tried to save me, that's all.
Now the police have found the body.
What if they take you away?
Nothing will happen.
No one is going to take me away from you.
Teacher said that
he will take care of everything.
Come on. Go and finish your bath. It's getting late.
Come on.
I love you.
Come on.
I am hungry, hurry.
This Maya, Soniya or whoever she is, why haven't we arrested her already?
-Sir, we just need a little more time-- -Why?
We know that Ajit went to Kalimpong to meet this woman.
This is the lottery you were told about at Paradise.
-We have all the evidence, right? -We do, sir.
But the evidence is supporting her, not against her.
-On that day, she was elsewhere-- -She is lying! Even you know that.
Ajit is dead. Murdered.
Maya is the only suspect.
What else do you want?
Sir--
"What else do you want?"
I want evidence.
Evidence.
One minute, where had she kept them?
They were in her pants pocket.
Hey, who keeps film tickets?
I would have been suspicious if they were in some drawer.
-Right. -But initially she said that…
I must have thrown them away.
Then?
It's possible that she bought the tickets, but she didn't go to watch the film.
So, you are saying that she bought the tickets just to create evidence?
If that was her plan, then she would have given us the tickets the first day.
Perhaps, she was waiting for us to ask.
Her every move is calculated.
Just like in chess.
We will make a move.
And only after that she will make her move.
She is the mother of a little girl.
You've turned her into a professional murderer.
Can't the mother of a little girl be a professional murderer?
Where is the time to commit a murder?
It's not easy to raise children by oneself.
You seem to know a lot about single mothers.
My mum was a single mother, sir.
Sorry.
It's okay,
sir.
You see, the time.
It's all about the time, Sundar.
6:10.
So, she went from the cinema to…
7:10.
8:00.
No matter how much kerosene is used, the human body takes at least…
At least an hour to burn.
-An hour? -I'm telling you,
returning to the cinema hall in time after doing all this,
it's… it's impossible.
What happened?
That's it!
That's the mistake she made.
Look, there was just one reason to erase Ajit's identity.
So that we don't suspect Maya.
Right.
His face was destroyed.
And so were the fingerprints. Just the clothes were left to be burnt.
She put them on fire. The clothes began to burn.
She had to leave before they were burnt completely. Why?
Because she had to reach back to the cinema hall in time.
What did we find because of that one mistake?
The blood sample. DNA sample. We found Ajit. Do you get it?
But if she can prove that she was at the cinema hall,
then we don't have a case.
The police took the film tickets.
Good.
This was bound to happen, Mrs. Dsouza.
-And yes, Tara-- -Did they ask her anything?
Yes. They had gone to her school.
May I speak to her?
Tara!
Hi.
Do you know this man?
-Did he ever visit your home? -No.
Good girl.
What else?
He asked me about the film,
if I had watched it or not.
And?
The 10th…
I had my geography exam on the 10th…
Yes! After that, Mumma and I went to watch Pets 2.
Lovely.
Anything else?
That's all he asked.
Okay.
Good night.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Just one more thing.
Have you spoken to anyone about this film?
To any of your friends?
Yes. My best friend, Maria.
Lovely. Thank you.
Do you have anything hot to drink at your place?
What is this tradition of knocking in Kalimpong?
It keeps the joints strong. Plus, this is a really old building.
Sorry, I don't get many guests.
I can see that.
Coffee?
Yes, coffee, fire, coal. Give me anything hot.
Please, sit.
Where?
Oh, man!
Naroo,
what the…
Isn't this the one we stole from Regal?
Not we, you.
I just accompanied you.
The person accompanying a thief is a thief too.
Hey! Be careful.
The poster is very old. It will tear.
Amazing.
What else have you saved?
-Coffee. -Yes.
Coffee. I feel alive.
Thank you.
What's this?
They are math problems.
And how many years I will take to solve them.
Seriously?
Are you still madly in love with mathematics?
Who else will love me?
That is also true.
But one must make an effort because…
-"Efforts lead to success." -"Efforts lead to success."
Are you saying this will take 15 years to solve?
Yes. I mean, if I can give it all my time.
Once, it took me ten years to solve a problem.
And then?
Somebody solved it two days before me.
What?
So, ten years of hard work went down the drain.
What did you do then?
I would have been devastated.
By the way, you have maintained yourself very well.
We are the same age,
but you look half my age.
-You also have a full head of hair. -That's true.
You will lose in just four moves.
Who do you play with?
Myself.
You have such a hot neighbor and yet you play with yourself.
Sorry. Bad joke.
But really hot. I mean, the coffee is really hot.
And I need your help regarding the hot neighbor.
Why?
Your hot neighbor
is currently my hot suspect.
Mr. Late?
Correct.
Mrs. Dsouza… is a suspect for that?
Not just a suspect, my friend, she is the one and only suspect.
-No. -Yes.
Will you keep an eye on her?
Look, I wouldn't have asked, if you were not her neighbor.
Just keep a lookout for anything suspicious.
How can Mrs. Dsouza be a murderer?
She is a simple, family-oriented lady.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Mrs. Dsouza,
you forgot to sign here.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Mrs. Dsouza…
What now?
I thought it was you.
I just saw you in front of the police station.
Just now?
You have quite a sharp vision.
I meant… a little while ago.
Didn't you… pass by the police station?
Are you following me?
No. Why did you feel that?
Because even when my daughter lies, she behaves just like this.
-I wanted to talk about your husband. -Can we do it some other time?
-I'm getting late-- -It's a bit urgent.
I have to go to work.
We have to speak.
Do you have a warrant?
Mrs. Dsouza, do you watch a lot of TV?
No, I don't have a warrant.
But I'll get one if you insist.
But if I come to your café with a warrant,
it won't look good. Especially for your business.
Don't be so angry. I won't take much of your time.
-Naren sir. -Yes?
The principal wants to see you.
Mrs. Dsouza, if you don't mind,
can I order something to eat?
I don't know what is it about this place,
but ever since I got here, I am always hungry.
You already are eating into my time. Might as well eat some food.
-Brother. -Yes, sir?
What's good here?
Sir, Dragon bar, so dragon momos.
Dragon momos. Are they good?
Yes, the momos here are famous.
Done. Get me the famous momos.
A plate of pork momos. And get the special ghost pepper chili sauce.
But, ma'am, won't it be too spicy for him?
Don't worry about it.
Just do your job.
Wow, you can speak Nepali.
-We ordered the famous momos, right? -Yes.
But they would be a bit spicy.
Don't worry, I was born to eat spicy food, ma'am.
I'm getting late.
Everything that you did on the 10th,
can you narrate it one more time?
Again?
Again.
Please.
Naren, for the term exam, please set the math paper a bit less difficult.
But less difficult, I mean, why, sir?
Parents are complaining.
The kids don't understand the level of your math homework.
The parents don't understand.
Even I don't understand it, sir.
Sir, but the questions are not difficult.
They just appear difficult. They only need a bit of logic.
Naren, the kids come here to get a high school education.
Not a PhD.
Thank you.
Would you…
Ajit…
Why did your husband come to meet you?
I already told you. For money.
The man who hadn't met his wife for 13 years,
who had never seen his daughter,
he came to meet you just for money?
Why is that so?
You'll have to ask that to Ajit.
Mrs. Dsouza.
-I hope it's not too spicy. -Not at all.
Why would anyone come to Kalimpong to kill Ajit?
You want me to do your job also?
You have to go.
I met you just to say
that the murderer of your husband,
he is roaming free.
Or she is roaming free.
So please be careful.
If you see or find anything abnormal,
then please inform the police.
That's it? That's what you wanted to tell me?
Yes.
You were worried as if I was about to arrest you.
Next time, just call me to the police station.
Oops.
Brother, do you have sugar?
What is sugar called in Nepali? Please, give me.
-Dipok. -Yes, sir?
Do you find my math papers hard?
Super-hard, sir. They go right above my head.
Then raise yourself. The world will not come down for you.
I'm missing you
Missing me?
Not me.
Naidu.
He is calling us.
-He has some new information. -So do I.
So stupid.
Tara watched Pets 2 without watching Pets 1.
What is she going to understand?
But she didn't want to understand the plot.
Just wanted to show us that she was elsewhere on the 10th.
Correct?
You okay?
I don't know, man. I had something at Dragon Momos.
It's threatening to come out.
-You had the ghost pepper chili sauce? -What's that?
It's the special sauce of Dragon Momos. Very spicy.
But they don't give you that unless you ask for it.
Shall we go?
Well played, Mrs. Dsouza. Bravo.
Look at this.
This man was strangled before being burnt.
Really?
These marks found on the neck
are caused by a thick wire wrapped in felt cloth or by a cord.
Like the cord of a heater?
Exactly.
Just like the cord of a heater.
In fact, I think the wound on the back of his head
is caused by the rod of the heater.
Water heater?
Coil water heater. There's one in every bathroom of Kalimpong.
Doctor, where is the bathroom here?
Maya,
look, look, that handsome man.
-Hurry up and close the shop. -Why?
-Prema, don't argue. Close it. -Let him come inside.
Give these two the bill and get rid of them. Come on.
Let it be.
Oh, God. He saw me.
Sir, one game? Best of five! Sir!
This time, I will definitely win.
-Or else, the coin is mine. -Done.
-Okay, thank you. -Thank you.
Prema, hurry up and close it.
Come on, come on.
Sorry, are you closing?
-Yes. -No.
Thank you.
One, two, three!
-Again, sir. -What's the point?
-This time, I'll win-- -Dipok, you are not paying attention.
The score is three-zero. Even if you win, the coin is mine.
Do you understand or is this also going above your head?
Do you need anything?
-Do you serve momos here? -Yes.
-The momos of Tiffin are the best. -Really?
I love momos.
In fact, today I had them at Dragon Momos.
Oh, Dragon Momos!
I hope you didn't have the special chili sauce.
Special chili sauce? What's that?
You didn't have it, right? You were saved.
It's the hottest sauce of Kalimpong…
It's the hottest sauce in the world.
-Rubbish. -What do you mean by "rubbish"?
Don't you remember that two people had to be hospitalized?
-What? -Yes.
It's a good thing that we didn't order that.
It's not given to anyone other than the local people.
Prema, come on, finish the cleaning.
Did you hear that?
People had to be hospitalized.
-I could have died. -It's nothing like it.
Maximum one can get is a stomachache because of it.
But still… sorry.
Mrs. Dsouza,
a sorry won't cut it for the way you have made me suffer.
You'll have to make up for it.
Naroo! Hey, Naroo!
You looked lost.
Were you solving a math problem?
No.
-Student problem. -Student problem.
What happened?
I have a student.
I… scolded him too harshly today.
Is he a good student or a bad student?
There are no bad students.
-"Only bad teachers." -"Only bad teachers."
But you must be setting a super-hard paper, right?
No.
It's not that hard.
I want them to use their brains, not just memorized formulas.
If I hide an algebra problem in a geometry question, they should be able to catch it.
An algebra problem in a geometry question?
Man, you are such a cruel teacher.
If I don't do it, then these kids will never think.
They'll just believe what is told to them. They'll never try to find the truth.
Are you aware of
the "P is equal to NP" problem?
No. It goes way over my head.
P is equal to NP states that,
for any given problem,
either we find the solution ourselves,
or we accept the solution given to us by somebody else.
For example?
There are five birds sitting in a tree.
If I shot one, how many birds will be left on the tree?
-Four? -Yes.
-Correct? -Correct.
What is it?
See, I gave you a solution and you accepted it.
Yes.
But had you thought a little, then you would have understood
that after hearing the gunshot, there won't be any birds left on the tree.
All of them would fly away.
The truth was right in front of you,
but you didn't see it.
Is this math or logic?
Math is logic.
Anyway, what are you doing here? Are you here to see me?
You know the hot suspect, right?
I need to ask her some questions.
But…
Hello.
Mrs. Dsouza, you know Naren, right?
Naroo, Mrs. Dsouza is forcing me to go to some karaoke bar.
Will you join us?
I have work. I need to check some papers.
Both of you go ahead.
Shall we go?
Thank you for bringing me here.
I have never been to a karaoke bar before.
But there are so many karaoke bars in Mumbai--
Hello and namaste, everyone!
My sweet Kalimpong people,
how are you doing tonight?
-Great! -Great!
Okay!
And you already know what day is today, and what's going to happen?
-Yes! -Yes!
Okay.
What's going to happen?
Today's Tuesday, right?
Yes, today is Tuesday.
What happens on Tuesdays?
They have a karaoke competition here on Tuesdays.
Let's leave before it begins.
Just five minutes.
Let's go after listening to one song. Please.
Here we go.
Time to sing and time for a song.
Just make sure, you don't get it…
-Wrong! -Wrong!
Here it comes. Song number one.
Come on, someone!
Anyone?
Which song is it?
Come on. It's such an easy song.
-…song that everyone knows. -You know it?
How can I forget it?
She knows it.
Oh, wow! That's more like it.
-Ma'am knows it. -Have you lost it?
-Please, give an applause for ma'am. -Don't be shy, just sing.
I want to go home.
First, the song and then home.
-Come on. Please. -No, not now.
-Please. -Everybody, she is here.
A round of applause for ma'am.
Come to me My love
My heart is longing for you
It waits for you with hope Don't make me beg my love
-That's it? One more time, please. -No.
One more time, please.
Just one more time.
Come to me My love
My heart is longing for you
It waits for you with hope Don't make me beg my love
Come to me My love
My heart is longing for you
It waits for you with hope Don't make me beg my love
We have a winner here.
Thank you.
Because of you,
I got to enjoy momos and karaoke today.
Thank you too.
I don't even remember the last time I had so much fun.
Didn't you just go there last week?
That was for Tara.
I have to go.
Good night.
Was she here on the 10th?
My heart is longing for you…
No, I don't think so.
Yes, Sundar. Did you get it?
Mumma…
Tara?
Didn't you sleep?
Mumma, the police came home.
When? Who?
Some Sundar Singh.
He took the coil heater.
-The same which-- -Yes.
It's probably Teacher.
He had called a while ago to ask if you've returned.
-Hello? -Mrs. Dsouza…
Teacher, police were here--
I know. I heard about it.
But, Mrs. Dsouza, why did you go with Karan?
He wouldn't get off my back.
So I thought, let me go with him and put an end to it.
What… What happened there?
Nothing.
He repeatedly kept asking the same question,
"What happened on the 10th?"
That's all? That was it?
Yes.
It was their plan.
One of them will take you out and the other one will take the heater.
Why?
Because they have found out what was used to kill Ajit.
The police still suspect you. And they will inspect everything.
Mrs. Dsouza, you will have to be a bit careful.
Yes.
So,
did anything else happen?
-Where? -With Karan…
I mean… at the karaoke bar.
No.
Good night, Mrs. Dsouza.
Mumma, didn't you go with Prema Auntie?
No.
Why will I go with Prema?
Did you ask Teacher before going?
I am not his student,
that I have to ask him.
And
what if he stops helping us?
Thank you.
No.
This coil heater doesn't match.
This isn't the murder weapon.
So, are we closing the case?
Just in Kalimpong. We will continue it in Mumbai.
So all the evidence provided by Maya Dsouza was true?
All of them.
I got a call from the karaoke bar
confirming that she was there on that night.
Then who killed Ajit?
I don't know, sir.
Until now, the suspect was Maya Dsouza.
Now,
it's "X".
Suspect X?
Yes, sir.
Suspect X.
Mrs. Dsouza, can I have two minutes?
-I'm busy. -Just two minutes.
By the watch.
What is it now?
Do you want to go to Gomphu's to find out if I went there also?
Just like the karaoke bar?
What to do?
Police work is like this only and we have to do it.
But after today, I won't bother you.
I just wanted to tell you that.
I am going back to Mumbai.
I have to go. I have customers.
Sure.
Keep visiting us.
Please, keep visiting us.
Take her out.
She's always working.
She doesn't think about herself.
What are you saying?
I am sure she has a lot of admirers.
There is nobody, except Teacher.
Teacher?
That one. Your friend.
-There is nobody except-- -Just a minute, Naroo?
-But he hardly comes here. -What are you saying?
He comes every day, like the sun.
Prema!
By the way, you have maintained yourself very well.
We are the same age,
but you look half my age.
You also have a full head of hair.
Naroo, Naroo, Naroo.
On the 10th,
Naren, Naren…
On the 10th…
Mr. Naren had taken a leave on the 10th.
Oh, my God,
in so many years, this is the first time he took a leave.
Hello.
-Hello. -Come on.
I am fine here.
Hey, don't be scared. Come in.
Do you remember? "Fall seven times…"
"Rise on the eighth."
…three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten!
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine…
Sorry, I… didn't know you were waiting.
I thought we could go back together.
I wanted to talk to you about something.
What did you want to talk about?
This case…
and that hot suspect.
I wanted to thank you.
Thank you, for what?
Do you remember?
You told me that sometimes we cannot see the truth that's right in front of us.
Yes, so?
I was making the same mistake. Regarding this case.
I kept looking at Mrs. Dsouza and kept wondering,
"How do I catch her lies?"
And what was the truth in front of you that you couldn't see?
Her truth.
I didn't think once that everything she said
could be true.
So that means
Mrs. Dsouza didn't commit the murder?
Look, the evidence stating that she was elsewhere on the 10th is solid.
But if there was someone else
who was helping her?
That is possible.
Where were you on the 10th?
Now I am a suspect?
Well, I am the police, I have to ask these questions.
I was at home the entire day on the 10th.
I wasn't keeping well.
If needed, will you be able to prove it?
No.
I didn't know any of this, else I'd have saved some evidence.
Hey, don't feel bad, but I'll have to arrest your Mrs. Dsouza.
My Mrs. Dsouza?
Stop pretending.
Prema was saying that you go to Tiffin just for her.
Yes, I do. Sometimes.
She said, "Every day,
like the sun."
Listen, Naroo…
I would have gone too, if I had a hot neighbor like her.
Not once, I would have gone many times a day.
There is one thing which is still bothering me.
Will you help me a bit?
What is it?
Whoever the killer was,
he made sure that Ajit could not be identified.
So that nobody suspects Mrs. Dsouza.
But he didn't burn the clothes fully.
He left them half-burnt.
It would have taken just five more minutes to burn the clothes.
Why would the killer do that?
You are the police.
I'm just a math teacher.
Teacher.
What happened?
I'm not able to understand.
Initially, the police said that they don't suspect me.
Then… they started asking about you.
About me?
What did they ask?
-Please, don't get angry-- -Why would I be angry…
Please tell me.
The police were asking and my staff told them that you
come to Tiffin
just for me.
As if you are in--
No. Why… What… I mean…
Why would I do that?
Yes,
I also told them many times
that there is nothing between us.
But…
I don't know why they said that.
That
you are in love with me.
They should be paying attention to their work,
but they kept talking about us.
I told them so many times
not to pay attention to such things.
It won't cause a problem, right?
Sorry, you
are angry, right?
Not at all.
In fact, I'm happy
that you told me.
Anyway,
they have made their move.
Now, it's our turn.
Our turn?
-Yes. -Mumma…
Good evening, Teacher.
I will be back in a moment.
Mrs. Dsouza,
you will have to make a promise.
No matter what happens,
you and Tara will stay out of all this.
As if nothing happened.
Don't do anything.
Don't say anything.
That's the only way you both can be saved.
I don't understand.
I will…
I will explain it to you later.
Don't use makeup. You look prettier without it.
Good morning, sir.
Sir!
One round.
-But you don't have the coin. -You do.
-Ready? -Ready, sir.
One, two, three!
Finally! I won!
You're a zero divided by an egg!
A zero divided by an egg?
This formula went right above my head.
Okay. Bye, sir.
She couldn't have done it alone.
Someone has helped her.
She is a sly one--
No, man! We are troubling Mrs. Dsouza for no reason.
It's proven that she's got nothing to do with the murder, right?
I'm telling you,
she is the murderer,
and someone else has helped her get rid of the body.
Who?
Do we have any evidence?
Do we have anything?
We don't have anything.
You are unnecessarily slandering Mrs. Dsouza.
-What? -Sir, come quickly.
Now what happened?
Say it again.
I killed Ajit Mhatre.
And I did it as per Maya Dsouza's request.
You should arrest her as well.
Babu, the fried rice?
Mrs. Dsouza, you will have to accompany me to the police station.
-I'm a bit busy right now. -It's urgent.
-I am working. -Me too.
Do you have a warrant?
Yes.
I saw him on the 10th for the first time.
-He was roaming outside our building. -Who was he?
Ajit.
However, I didn't know who he was then.
I don't know anything.
Why would he kill Ajit?
Then?
Then I went and asked him.
He said that he's Maya Dsouza's husband.
And that Maya wanted to meet him. Right then, I realized that he was lying.
One minute…
How did you know that he was lying?
Because Maya used to tell me everything.
She also had told me that she never wanted to see her husband again.
I never told him anything of that sort.
But you had told me that you don't know Mrs. Dsouza that well
and you don't interact much with her.
That's what we tell everyone.
Excuse me?
I am Maya Dsouza's bodyguard.
And it's my duty to protect her.
We don't want people talking about us, so we keep our relationship a secret.
I am a teacher at a school.
People can say all sorts of things.
He came to the café every day.
We also made fun of him.
But he was like any other customer for us.
You… never told me anything.
What kind of an idiot are you?
Why would I tell you? Who are you?
Nobody knows. Not even her daughter.
Then what happened?
Ajit wanted to meet Maya.
I took advantage of it.
I told him she's visiting someone near the monastery.
And he believed you?
What does he know about Kalimpong?
He didn't even know which road lead to which place.
He was delighted just to get the address.
He was quite a stupid man.
Just a minute…
You made a plan to kill Ajit the moment you met him--
Absolutely.
If anyone tries to harm Maya,
it's my duty to eliminate that person.
-How did you kill him? -By strangling him.
I didn't have time to buy things, so I took a coil heater from home.
I also took kerosene and a matchbox,
so that he is not identified and Maya doesn't become a suspect.
Of course.
And then?
Then I saw him.
He was looking for Maya at a desolate place.
Didn't I say that he was a stupid man?
Then I followed him.
And with the metal end of the heater I hit him on the back of his head.
Then I wrapped the cord around his neck and tightened it from behind.
I practice jujitsu every day.
I have a lot of strength.
But anyway,
it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.
-What did you do after killing him? -First, I took off all his clothes.
Then, using a big rock, I cracked open his face.
Just like how a coconut is cracked open.
So that his face is not identifiable.
Then I burnt his fingers using the lighter.
So that he is not identified by his fingerprints either.
Then I poured kerosene on him and burnt him completely.
Matches.
Only the murderer can tell so accurately
how the murder was carried out.
And then?
Then I set his clothes on fire.
But the flames were going too high, I thought someone might see it.
So I left from there.
Did you tell Mrs. Dsouza that you have killed Ajit?
No.
I didn't want to risk it.
Women can't keep a secret.
So, when did Mrs. Dsouza ask you to kill Ajit?
-She would secretly tell me everything. -How?
She would speak in her apartment,
and I would hear it through the hole in the wall.
Sir, sir.
Hey! Be careful.
The poster is very old. It will tear.
You would listen to their conversations without their knowledge?
No.
She would herself tell me secretly.
She would act as if she was talking to her daughter,
but in reality, she would pour her heart out to me.
I didn't even know about it.
Tara is my best friend.
I tell her everything.
So, that was your way to find out everything about Mrs. Dsouza?
What do you mean, "find out"?
She'd tell me herself.
But she never spoke to you directly, right? Maybe, you misunderstood--
Nonsense!
She told me!
Who speaks to their daughter like that, that her husband harasses her
and she wishes that he dies?
You are in the police, please use your brains.
She was talking to me.
She was asking for my help secretly!
It's possible.
Sometimes you end up saying such things.
The hole in the wall…
does she know about it?
No. It wasn't needed either.
Every day, I would inform her that I have reached home.
And if she has any problem, she can tell me about it.
How did you inform her?
I'd give her a missed call.
If after five rings, she answered and disconnected the call,
that meant everything was okay.
And if she didn't answer,
that meant she wanted to tell me something.
On the pretext of talking to her daughter.
Does Mrs. Dsouza know about these calls?
Yes. You can ask her.
What? No.
Three months ago, someone began calling me.
I'd get a call every evening.
Around 8:00 to 8:30 p.m.
He began telling me about myself.
As if someone is secretly watching me.
I got scared.
So I stopped answering the calls.
But why did you decide to tell us everything all of a sudden?
Because she betrayed me.
Had I known she would betray me, I would have never killed her husband.
She turned me into a murderer.
-She should be punished as well. -What do you mean by she betrayed you?
Oh, man!
Do you mean, me?
Naroo, we don't have anything like that between us.
Don't you lie, Karan.
I saw you both at the karaoke bar.
I'm not blind.
I know what I saw.
I knew that Teacher likes me.
But I didn't know that he would go to such lengths.
Someone used to write strange letters to me.
I would throw away most of them.
But I kept these three as evidence.
"Don't use makeup. You look prettier without it."
"Let me know if you need any help. You looked worried today."
"Karan, I'll never forgive you…"
Sir, this was found too.
Karan!
Yes.
This is the murder weapon.
Doesn't it sound strange?
Yes, sir.
This man is also a bit strange.
Since college.
They say,
"There is just a thin line between genius and madness."
Are you sure that he murdered Ajit?
One hundred percent, sir.
He knows all those details which only the murderer would know.
And the coil heater found at his apartment
contains Ajit's skin samples.
That is the murder weapon.
And Maya?
All of her alibis are strong, sir.
All the claims about the places and times made by her
-have been verified by the witnesses. -All right.
Create a murder charge sheet on Naren.
Let Maya go.
Yes, sir.
Mrs. Dsouza, you can leave.
You're free to go.
May I speak to Teacher once?
Why?
I wanted to ask him why he did all this.
Mrs. Dsouza, he is not in the right state of mind.
-I'll come with you. -No.
He won't say anything in front of you.
For my peace of mind,
please let me speak to him alone.
Please.
Good evening, Mrs. Dsouza.
Why are you doing this?
This is wrong.
For the one who saved my life,
I can certainly do this for her.
Me?
When did I?
Do you remember the first time you came to my house?
To ask for the plumber's number.
That day, I was about to hang myself.
Why?
For my first love,
mathematics.
There was a problem that I was trying to solve for the past ten years.
And when I finally solved it,
I found out that
46 hours ago, someone else solved it.
I felt my life ended there.
And that's when you knocked on my door.
-I don't know how can I thank you-- -I should be thanking you, Mrs. Dsouza.
For taking me back
to my first love.
-I'll come to visit you every day-- -No.
Please.
There is another math problem for which I will need
at least 15 years to solve.
Let me spend this entire time
with my mathematics.
Only then I can do it.
Please… look after yourself and Tara.
Thank you, Teacher.
Thank you, Mrs. Dsouza.
Hey!
This woman is a murderer!
Don't let her go! Don't let her go!
She is a murderer!
Catch her!
-Why are you letting her go? -Let's go, ma'am. He has lost it.
Why are you letting this woman go?
She is a murderer!
Didn't I say,
nobody can take me away from you?
Teacher took care of everything.
How?
I don't know.
I could never understand math.
Are you aware of the "P is equal to NP" problem?
P is equal to NP states that,
for any given problem,
either we find the solution ourselves,
or accept the solution given to us by somebody else.
Mrs. Dsouza,
we will have to gather some evidence for you and Tara.
But all the evidence is against me.
We will change the same evidence to support you.
One dead body of Ajit.
One and only suspect, Maya Dsouza.
Because Ajit died on 9th,
and Mrs. Dsouza has no alibis for the 9th.
But…
If Ajit died on the 10th,
she can have all the alibis.
Therefore,
till 9th, the suspect is Maya Dsouza.
But on 10th,
the suspect becomes X.
You need to die one more time.
And that stranger was around 5'11".
Hey.
Hotel Alice Villa.
He checked in two days ago, and he made an advance payment for three days.
That means we still have one more day.
Teacher, I'm scared.
Before the police arrests me,
-should I just confess to them? -No.
Just do what I've told you.
When he comes, only answer what he asks.
Do not say anything on your own.
And most importantly,
as far as you're aware,
Ajit is still alive.
But his body?
His body will never be found.
You strangled him with?
The cord of the heater.
We need to remove his clothes before rigor mortis sets in.
You can identify a person from clothes.
Teacher,
will you please help us?
Don't worry, Mrs. Dsouza.
I'll take care of it.
There is one thing which is still bothering me.
Whoever the killer was,
he made sure that Ajit could not be identified.
But he didn't burn the clothes fully.
He left them half-burnt.
Why would the killer do that?
Nothing will happen.
No one is going to take me away from you.
Teacher said that
he will take care of everything.
I killed Ajit Mhatre.
I am Maya Dsouza's bodyguard.
It's my duty to protect her.
See, I gave you a solution and you accepted it.
But had you thought a little, then you would have understood
that the truth was right in front of you,
but you didn't see it.
Is this mathematics or logic?
Math is logic.
